Gday Mick
I have conducted pretty much all of my observing in the back yard to date.
I have a seriously sophisticated observatory set up which consists of 4 loose pavers that I put in the middle of the yard and plonk a dob on them, auxiliary equipment is a chair and a beer. My dog keeps my feet warm.
Shoot me a pm and I'll pass my details to you. Each of my scopes do have their particular pros and cons and I would be happy to discuss those with you and possibly organise for you to come over on a clear night and give them a spin.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with a 6 or 8" dob as a starting point, very little knowledge is required to get observing.
Cheers
Rob B
