Hey Everyone! Decided to become a member of the site as it seems as though it is a place where I can gain knowledge from a lot of different people. I've been an observer for about a year now, and I am still on my first telescope which is a 10" Orion Dobsonian.
I live about 40 km North of Melbourne so I do get some decently dark skies overhead and North, but the area around the Southern Pole is washed out by the city lights which makes me unable to see the Magellanic clouds with the naked eye.
Look forward to becoming a part of this community
