    Getting out to the dark and just looking up is a really good suggestion of a place to start. Turn Left at Orion is a really good absolute beginner book too, so I second that recommendation as well. One resource I’d recommend that was missing from the article is the Cloudy Nights Forums. It’s one of the niche old-style forums that a lot of amateur astronomers frequent.
