New to Astronomy

G'day All

I am new to astronomy and have just found this forum.. WOW..
My wife brought me a celestron 70EQ for my Birthday and i am hooked..
I did a little viewing while in high school astronomy class in the early 90's and have always had an interest, but not enough time or money to spend on a serious scope.
So last night during a much welcomed break in the weather i set it up and despite the light pollution from Brisbane, was stunned and delighted to see a clear view of Jupiter and its 4 moons ! .

So where to from here? I will continue with this scope for a while but will be looking to upgrade to a larger reflector telescope. I have no idea about Brands or prices so where is the best place to start? I would like to eventualy be able to take some photos as well..


Cheers
Leeroy
