Welcome Steve
What a great location to start your journey with this amazing hobby of ours
Tip1 - don’t rush take your time and learn the Night Sky on a planetarium like Stellarium or CDC
Tip 2 - buy 2 good books, Astronomy 2019 and Atlas of the Southern Night Sky both available from Bintel ( excellent resource books )
Tip 3 - don’t be tempted to ditch the hand controller straight away for remote goto from a laptop or tablet.Hone your skills with the handcontroller for a while until your ready to take the next step
Tip 4 - get ready for some late nights and early mornings, so rest up when you can
Tip 5 - have fun and be amazed at our universe ( it does eventually become an obsession )
Cheers and clear skies
