[NSWSCAS (Richard)]

Hi everyone. Wow - there's a lot of us here. I'm Richard and I'm so glad I got bitten by the stargazing bug recently. Ive bought my first scope after sifting through a LOT of material and even more opinion and then asked myself 2 questions; 1) How much time can I realistically devote to my new hobby with 2 small boys around?, and 2) What will that that time enable me to do?
So I got a bit of a bargain paying $650 (delivered from the UK) for a brand new Celestron 130SLT. I found Amazon.co.uk the best bcs they tend to deliver to Aus and you avoid paying any VAT (GST equiv)which is currently at 20%.

I'm also setting up a brand new local stargazers society for the NSW south coast at nswscas.org and if you live between Tilba Tilba and Ulladulla and are interested in joining me and whoever else shows up, then send me an email on info@nswscas.org. We'll hook up, find some stars, drink some tea or cold ones (depending on the season) and go "Oh, WOW! Awesome!" a lot.


Sound like fun? Get in touch. I'd love to have a good old chat and swap tips and expertise on my new and exciting hobby.
