Northern Gold Coast: Help needed please.

[Blackspear]

I live on the northern end of the Gold Coast in Ashmore, and have purchased a 2nd hand Sky-Watcher Traditional Dobsonian Telescope 254mm/1200mm (10") for Christmas for my 11yr old daughter who wants to be a astrophysicist (at this point in time). The telescope still has 2yrs of warranty (the owner purchased it new from Slacks Creek in Brisbane).


The trouble is, I need someone to help set it up, as I'm having issues with not being able to see the moon at all. I have another thread on this running, and it has become apparent that I'm in need of assistance.


Is there anyone on the Gold Coast that I could come and see for help?


Cheers :D

I live at Upper Coomera and visit friends quite often at Ashmore, I might be able to help. I purchased a similar Skywatcher Dob a lot of years ago and eventually put it on an EQ5 - and I still have it.

I will PM you for some details.
