Hello
Hi everyone! After many years of enjoying looking up, I finally took the plunge and read through the "what to buy for newbs" sections of many sites and decided on a 6 inch dob for portability, and price.
The Financial Controller works at a high school with an astronomy subject, so she had a chat with the teacher for some advice on what we should get. Next day he contacts us with a second hand 10 inch dob for sale from an ex-student. Perfect timing. Going to be all set up for under $500!
We are off to the Perth Observatory tomorrow night (booked a while back), hoping it will be OK weather-wise, it is looking like rain and storms for the next week - the curse is still strong!
