The salt laden air close to the coast is not kind to telescope optics, so I would be reluctant to use the scope when the onshore winds are blowing. Luckily we are coming into the time of year when we get more offshore breezes of an evening, early morning.
Have you thought about maybe joining one of the local clubs to help you on your astral travels, whether visual or photographic. May help shorten the learning curve and guide you over some of the stumbling blocks.

Yeh, observing in Woonona has its challenges, I'm only 300m to the coast so think there is a bit of sea-spray hovering around at times. I agree the escarpment brings the clouds over too. Still I'm quite impressed with what I could achieve anyway, am looking to travel a little out west around Robertson, Kangaroo valley or Exeter to get away from light pollution.
Looking forward to conversing with you more.[/QUOTE]
