Thanks for the replies
I have had many scopes
but the 12" souped up dob was a very nice. There will be another scope one day once my life settles down.
Main Ridge or anywhere in the very southern Mornington peninsula is very nice to observe from.The main Ridge location was a private property.
Like to slow down in my observing. Today's world is such a rush. Look at an object and see it in all its beauty. Don't look and then yep that's it what's next.
faint fuzzy s don't do anything for me any more they all look very similar. look at Eta Carina or LMC or 253 and what do you reallly see? the more you look and wonder the more fascinating it will become.
Enjoy.
