New to astronomy
10 October 2024  | 

Pack contents great (I think). Astronomy is new to me. I’m still reading the material. Learnt a few basic bits like we can’t always see the moon.
Hampered cos of many cloudy nights/weather, still working out how to use the planisphere. Seem to have to turn my brain inside out to view sky with it, like I need imagine I am viewing the inside of a domed ceiling above me rather than the outside of a dome…….perhaps obvious to many but my silly brain didn’t realise at first (or my husbands) if that is right, as a newcomer to stargazing I could have done with such integral insights spelling out in huge letters!
So slow progress.
Also struggling to use an app I bought. I had this (possibly daft) idea I could get the app showing Ursar Major, and then the app could ‘tour’ me round main constellations as I rotated clockwise, to enable me to get a sort of a 2d mind map of how one constellation relates to others as I sweep the sky. )
Hard to describe what I mean.
Maybe I’m looking for the impossible ?
What I’m saying is the products seem good but I think it’s my own lackk of ability to work my Sky View app well (don’t think the app is Chandlers) so not your fault…I’ve searched but not found a place to learn some really basic notions I seem to be missing, as above Frustrating, also making it difficult to truly rate my purchase. Though all I was sent is immaculate maybe I need a person who knows a lot more than me to explain the basics.
This is not meant to criticise the products, just trying to explain why I’m a bit stuck !
The game seems ok. - can make up more games with the cards.
