I need to find Zeta 2 Reticuli!

I suggest you not worry about finding Z2R. I would be worried about it finding us. As for a scope, any good 3x9 attached to an M4 loaded with explosive rounds with an attached granade launcher may be useful in such an event!!! lol

See if you can find a star party in your area. I wouldn't purchase a telescope to look at a star. It's really not worth the expenditure IMHO. If, however, you want to look at nebulae telescopes can be pretty fun. Check out a star party first, that way you can look through numerous telescopes and see what you like!

load this on you PC ,,Stellarium 0.11.0 its pretty cool software to find your Star

What 'Hobo sapiens' said ... join a club or something ... you can't beat a decent pair of binoculars ;) ... Stellarium is wicked ... it's OpenSource, hence FREE :) ... very powerful ...

Pretty cool Then Gem

Take a left at Alpha Centauri, then go straight:O)

Cheers guys, Gonna look into this Star party idea and see whats happening in my area, Stellarium is a damn neat bit of software too. Dave b and Chimera cheers for the laugh, lol.

I just read the original Alien Script (1st draft was called 'starbeast') from 1976. some lines are still there and the basic stroy idea is there but it's radically different in alot of ways. But....even in that first early draft Zeta 2 Reticuli is in there. Just thought people might find that interesting.
