A thread about it is here http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=137600
We are a fairly casual group and welcome new astronomers. A 10" dob will show a lot of stuff under the skies we get there.
Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Malcolm,
Thank you for the welcome, yea it's amazing and the kids are just loving it a lot, the main reason I purchased the scope as my youngest was really interested in Jupiter/Venus etc that was in line with each other a couple of month back and really been researching scopes for about 4 months before finally deciding - now really considering GoTo at some stage so I can take long exposures.
Thank you for the invite I would love to go and would be very interested and could do with heaps of help and advise - that's just a bugger of a weekend where I need to be here, as I have my parents here.
When's the next one planned?
Andreas
