Hey Fred,
Welcome mate, this is a great community here on IIS.
We spent the last week and a bit of July in Broome, wifey had been trying to get me to go for 15 years.......I loved the place and the atmosphere!!! So much so that we have booked for late Aug and the first week of Sept., to go back there. This time it will be less touristy and more about photography and enjoying the area.
I've been trying to contact Greg Quicke that runs Astrotours over there but he's apparently tripping around over this side of the country atm.
I think you're going to enjoy your new 'scope and it probably won't be long before you want to go bigger
.
Cheers mate.
