Hi Vespine,
where do you live?
I am in Tyabb at the start of the mornington peninsula and any time you want to come over to look through my scope, you are welcome. I have a 10 inch dob with argonavis.
A few of us live in this general area so something might be able to be arranged.
You will find that most are a friendly bunch and are quite happy to share their knowledge (and scopes) with you
.
I hadn't met anybody other than Dave47tuc before the last Snake Valley camp and they were all very friendly. I'm a newbie too and they put up with me asking probably stupid questions. They won't bite
.
The question is, where are you willing to travel to?. Members are all over the place and many of them would be happy to help you out.
