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. |
Hello Chris,
I'm sure you enjoyed yourself in Broome in the best months of the season. As a local of sorts, I find that the town is a bit busy at that time of year and enjoy the off season when its quiet but unfortunately hot and probably not the best time for astronomy.
I know Greg and will be letting him know of my telescope acquisition when it arrives and also when he's in town as he's a busy person these days. I'm sure he'll give me a few good tips.
