@Soossie Benahavis wae the name of the town. Moorish originally. Galicia and Aragon are musically very different from the other provinces. I'm sure Bilbao influenced The Lord of the Rings ( Bilbo!)

I think they even speak different languages..... never been to that area... but I surely will when I visit Spain next....

Thank you Alan....

@Soossie Once went on a tour of Bilbao and asked the guide about a local composer named Arriaga, which I pronounced Arr-ee-ah-ga (hard "g"). She thought about it and asked "Do you mean A-ree-jah ?" She brought me to a pub, famous for Basque music, but the timing was wrong; in the clock sense, not rhytmically !

I have binoculars.
I would like a telescope, but really don't know enough about them to make a good buying decision.
I've had some cheapies.
You can't really see anything because it's not held still enough,
and the part you look into is in an awkward position.

Take a look at the Sky & Telescope magazine website. They have a good buying guide for beginners plus much useful info in getting started. @Budwick

Neither - but I had a telescope as a kid - but it came with a 8 inch tripod - like WTF ? Me and my mom used to put it on the kitchen table and look at the moon through the back door.
