Telescope Reviews: Re: My new toy

Welcome Aaron. As far as getting your eye into the right spot for the eyepiece, this is quite a common problem. Some eyepieces will give you more trouble than others, and it all depends on the person as well as the telescope. My best advice is that if you can't comfortably use the eyepieces you have, find one that you can use comfortably. Joining an astronomy club might help in that department. There's not usually a shortage of enthusiasts willing to let you try their equipment out to see what you like.

"Well, people sometimes ask me 'how did you get involved in astronomy?' I said 'I got born, what's your problem?'" -- John Dobson

"In discussing the large-scale structure of the cosmos, astronomers sometimes say that space is curved, or that the universe is finite but unbounded. Whatever are they talking about?" -- Carl Sagan
