Hey Chris it's good to hear that things have improved somewhat
I hope we might still catch up for a night's viewing sometime..... if ever your headed this way get in touch, you know where to find Ron and myself.
In the meantime have you seen this thread?

Hotkey in Maryborough has a 10" dob for sale, good price, would make a great scope for you I think. Get in touch with him.
Best wishes for you all, and I really look forward to talking again soon,
Steve
