I agree with Barry, it is a good idea to find an observing session near you.
Where in Sydney are you?

Hi Allan, thanks very much. I was thinking of joining the Western Sydney Astronomical society. They've got a viewing area about 90min from me. I'm in Marrickville, Sydney so I'll try find a place to take the scope. I think I'll learn a great deal that way. One quick question: If the moon looks pretty clear, does that mean collimation should be okay? If collimation was out, wouldn't everything show a soft focus? I'm getting pretty clear images of the moon, starting with the 25mm, then moving to the 15mm and finally the 9mm. Thanks again for the help. This forum is an incredible means of assistance for someone learning the ropes.
