Hello and welcome,

My suggestion would be first to get along to a local astro club viewing night. That way you can try out some scopes and pick a few brains at the same time.

If you haven't got binoculars, then a pair or 7x50s or 10x50s are often a very good starting tool, and useful at other times too if the interest in astronomy wanes. (That and "Australian Astronomy 2007" or a magazine subscription. These have almanacs of astro events.)

Good luck,

Brian.
