Shawn. Welcome to CN. In beginning this hobby try at first to keep this real simple. Purchase this months Sky & Telescope magazine and begin learning the night sky with the center fold map in your back yard. Have fun with it, get some lawn chairs some drinks, maybe grill some burgers and enjoy the wonders. I definitely recommend locating an astronomy club in the area and attend the next star party (more than likely around August 2) and share your thoughts with the members. Have fun. BTW, bring the C90 to the star party.
