can I allow myself some intermediate steps please?

Or should I deffo go for the wild extravagance immediately? It's a f**ker to aim, though. There's a CD that comes with it, that gives you a map of the sky as seen from my house at this moment in time etc, but I haven't yet grasped RA/Decs or whatever they're called, and the controls on the scope are all in degrees and the locations on the prog are all in hours and minutes. So I've been pointing it in the general direction and then squatting down behind it, taking a sighter along the tube, and then sniggling it left/right/up/down. failing to find it and going back in for a fag and a warm.
