You are most welcome to come along with your 8 inch , it will perform excellently out there and we will be more than willing to help any way we can , a friendly bunch  we are , like all amateur astronomers and like every amateur world wide we love showing off our gear  , as I would love to check out your scope , especially out there .
Let me know and I will send you a PM detailing the site , etc.

Hi Brian, that sounds fantastic and I'd love it if you could send me that info! It will be great to get out there with a more experienced bunch that can give me some guidance
Simon kudos for your avatar - one of the best Simpsons images!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes! I will most definitely check out the ASWA diary as well - I have the site bookmarked and was planning on waiting until I had a bit more knowledge/experience before showing up and making a silly noob out of myself, but jumping straight into it is going to be the best way - we all start somewhere!!!
