It's important to point out that you don't need a telescope to complete the lessons, but I still would recommend using one... it will enhance your experience and appreciation.

Good start

Clearly written, but definitely for complete beginners. At times oversimplified, but a good starting point. The "forty nights" can really be accomplished much, much faster.
