Answer: -- Dress warmly! The winter sky offers some of the best objects for a telescope and it is a shame to cut an observing session short because you didn't bundle up. Even if you live in a warm area, or view during other seasons of the year, you will be surprised how quickly the air cools at night.

Answer: -- Try to observe with a plan. Choose a few easy objects (large and bright) that can be seen from your location and time of year. Check one of the popular astronomy websites such as Sky&Telescope, http://skyandtelescope.com/ and Astronomy Magazine, http://www.astronomy.com/ for a list of objects currently visible in the night sky . Answer: -- The number on the eyepiece is the focal length of the eyepiece. It is not the magnification of the eyepiece .

Answer: -- The best locations for astronomy will be rural areas far from large cities that pollute the night sky with outdoor lighting. This "light pollution" washes out many of the faint objects of interest to an astronomer, as does the light from the moon. A small telescope when used under a dark, moonless sky can match the performance of a larger telescope used under a light polluted sky or a moonlit sky. (Most astronomers do not hold the moon in high regard for this reason.)

For you, it will take at least a half-hour of uninterrupted darkness for the pupils of your eyes to open to their fullest and be at their most sensitive to faint objects in the night sky. Furthermore, sudden exposure to bright light will quickly cause you to loose your dark adaptation. To read a star map or see the controls on your telescope , cover your flashlight lens with several layers of red plastic or paint it with several layers of red nail polish.

Answer: -- ALWAYS start observing with the lowest magnification eyepiece available until you become skilled in the use of your telescope. This will be the eyepiece marked with the BIG number (longer focal length ), not one of the smaller numbers. Again, the number you see on the eyepiece is the focal length, not the magnification.

Yes, but NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN THROUGH A TELESCOPE! To safely view the sun, you should use a projection system or solar filters that fit over the end of a telescope to block most of the light from the sun. They are made of aluminum. (See Observing the Sun for details).

Ueshiba Morihei: At about the age of 14 or 15. First I learned Tenshin shin'yo ryu jujutsu from Tokusaburo Tozawa sensei, then Kito ryu, Yagyu ryu, Aioi ryu and Shinkage ryu, all of them jujutsu forms. However, I thought there might be a true budo form elsewhere. I tried Hozoin ryu sojutsu and kendo. But all of these arts are concerned with one-to-one combat forms and they could not satisfy me. So I visited many parts of the country seeking the Way and training, but all in vain.
