I found this site as part of my campaign to get the Star Stuff radio programme back on the air.

While i signed up to participate in a thread on that topic I've always been interested in Astronomy so intend to hang around. I used to have a 12.5" Meade star finder dobsononian but had to sell it when I moved from Australia to Ireland 6 years ago
.
I haven't replaced it yet because the weather is pretty much crap here 100% of the time. If/when I move back to Australia I'd definitely be in the market for an equatorial mounted scope (the dob was a pain in the hole).
I spent 4 weeks in Australia recently and took the opportunity to check out the cosmological centre in Charleville. The sky out there is incredible. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Well that's me.
