Hi Suzie, firstly, I am sorry for how the telescope came to be yours, condolences.


Secondly, to echo a post above, there are a couple of groups that can help you a lot. There is the Astronomical society of Victoria and depending on where you are in Melbourne, another is the Mount Burnett Observatory in the Dandenongs. If you can get out to there they have members nights each Friday and are an extremely friendly group (Many of whom are also ASVmembers)

I was just thinking that MBO if you can get there might be a less intimidating atmosphere to begin with, ASV is also very friendly but MBO (I am a member of both) is a really warm and welcoming group.
