Hi everyone,
I am glad to have found this friendly looking forum and fabulous resource. I bought my first refractor (an itty bitty one, really) to view Halley's Comet. Since then, I have mainly pointed it at the moon. Sadly last year, it suffered a fatal accident and I have been scope-less. A helpful fellow from the Brisbane Astronomy Society let me look through his very large dobsonian a few months ago and I realised that I have really been flying blind all these years. For the first time I saw the moons of Jupiter and some other objects invisible to the naked eye! He recommended this forum as a place to learn exactly what kind of scope I need and how to use it. I live too far from any of the clubs to be a regular visitor - but we do get some good dark skies here, especially in winter.
Anyways - looking forward to learning more and 'meeting' you all.
Suz
