Hi all,
Just introducing myself I have been lurking IIS for a while now and ordered my first scope (6" Saxon dob with included 10mm and 25mm eyepieces) and a 2x Barlow last week. After days (nights) of incessant clouds and pouring rain managed to get my first glimpse through the scope.
Was still very cloudy but managed to get a view of Jupiter and Saturn as well as the moon and was very pleased with my purchase.
Anyway, currently living in Adelaide and hope to get some more viewing in soon!
Anyone got any suggestions on what else I should be able to find relatively easy? Hoping to have a look at the Orion nebula when there's a clear night.
Cheers,
Lachy
