Things to do till you decide and get a Telescope (min 2 months)

Yes, do not decide and buy a telescope in haste. Take more time as you will understand it better.

At the same time you need to go through a lot of reading, browsing and learning too.


I cannot suggest what are the perfect things to do before you start astronomy but i can describe the stuff i did (and it worked). All you need to do is, to do things which expand your knowledge base in astronomy. Without a strong foundation of knowledge one cannot expect to progress in any area.


Sounds boring ? Astronomy and boring ? Of course you can make the most interesting things boring if you don't know the right way to do it. Lets do it my way. I did not find it boring so it might work for you too. To make astronomy work for you, you have to break the barrier.
