Gday from Newcastle
Hi all!
Really excited to be on here! Seems to be a really cool forum full of helpful members! I'm a beginning astronomer (although I studied astrophysics in uni, if that counts), got myself some 10x50 binoculars the other week, and subsequently couldn't resist taking the plunge and picking up an 8" dob from Bintel!
Haven't got a great range of view from my house, but I've managed to pick up some great views of a bunch of Messier objects in Sagittarius and Scorpius as well as some other assorted treats (saturn, the moon etc)
Thinking of picking up some eyepieces at some point in the future, (TV panoptics looked really exciting), wondering if they'd make a big difference in my scope?
Anyway, just wanted to say hey and would love to know if there are any locals around who can show me where all the best views can be got!
Cheers,
James
