The 20" reflector in the observatory at Bunbury is well worth a look too, although light pollution has reduced its effectiveness over the years. The society has observing nights at the College Grove observatory on a couple of Fridays every month. You'll get a warm welcome, and coffee an biccies to boot :-) If you PM me I can give you Phil's Phone Number.

Unfortunately Bunbury is a bit beyond my practical reach, although the college grove observatory looks like a great spot from the pictures on the net. Ill have to remember it next time im down south. Thanks all the same
