I realize this would be "easy" to Google. But it isn't. Where do I start? I primarily want to enjoy space, not try to discover mass relays. I'm also aware that good telescopes aren't cheap. I think I can manage. Where do I start if I end up with no plan?

Loading...Is it possible that evolution, through fortunate circumstances, could produce humans again on exoplanets, just as it did on Earth?
Hello, Today (August 12-13, 2022) I was watching the meteor shower with my friends, and we noticed a fairly large, luminous object that was golden and dim, becoming somewhat clearer intermittently. It was slower than the meteors but definitely larger and faster than the planes we saw. The hazy or foggy appearance is particularly confusing,…
You have heard about the planet parade, are these planets, if so, which ones I only see those, not others, and they are in the east
Werter questioner, I recommend creating a used telescope with a diameter of 12-20 cm with tripod. There are lots of good used, as many significantly reduce the hobby when they realize that only a few stars/planets can be considered sensible. From 7 cm plastic telescopes with plastic lenses I advise you directly, this is inferior material.
It’s very absurd, the Stellarium program from the Linux repository.
This was presented to me at the Regiomontanus Observatory in Nuremberg.
With this you can enter a star/planet name on the computer, zoom, look at well-resolved surfaces, see his data, look at the surrounding moons, change the time scale, hide the star images, swing, star through the earth, see constellations at any time and hide some more (light pollution….).
Attention: If you have control of Stellarium and collect many information, then be aware that with a real telescope you can only make about 2% of it.

You can consider the conditions under which you want to observe, e.g. from a fixed location, regularly and often or only occasionally with a mobile and flexible device.
You can consider whether you have direct visual observation or whether you want to take pictures with the appropriate technical support of a camera.
So you’re considering how much time and money you can invest.
