Greetings all from Tas.
After looking around another forum for info on what to buy
iceman pointed me to this site. It's nice to see a bunch of people so passionate about their hobbyand so willing to share and help others. I've always been interested in astronomy but never done anything about it. What finally kicked me into action was seeing a bright satellite trundle across the sky at night then finding it was the ISS from the Heavens Above site. Last week I spotted Saturn with my binoculars and could just make out the rings; next Jupiter and now I've got the bug and subject to ministerial approval .
I hope to buy something in the not too distant future. I was thinking of the Meade LX90 but dobs seem to be very popular and heaps cheaper so any suggestions would be appreciated.
