Hi Daria
You need to get together with some folks with their telescopes - out under the stars. Next opportunity will be around next New Moon weekend, in around 4 weeks time. Plenty of opportunity to do this around Melbourne.
In the meantime, start reading articles and reviews in the "Projects & Articles" and "Equipment Reviews" sections up there on the left of the page.
Welcome to a wonderful world of wonder!
Cheers
Eric
