Nice, thanks, and I even have a pair of binoculars! I am not sure how well it will work with my old-fashioned Kindle Keyboard, but hey, free is free.

Great find. Thanks OP. In case anyone wants to progress further with a decent small telescope, my all-time favourite practical astronomy book is: Turn Left at Orion. I spent many nights with a telescope and this book. Dark skies ares definitely a plus. One of the authors has since been elevated to head Vatican astronomer.

AbeBooks has it for decent prices 2nd hand: http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=Turn+left+at+orion
