Thanks Everybody

Rex: That link was very helpfull, thanks for that. Ken: I really do need to start sketching what I can see. I've been looking at m7 alot lately (first object I could find easily) and I reckon that if I started to sketch it I would notice alot more. Jeanette: I've been spending LOADS over the past few months on books and magazines (in fact I would probably have enough money to buy some kind of giant telescope by now!). I've got "The Night Sky", it's an awesome book, do you know of anything as good as it that focuses on stuff outside of the solar system? The Aussie magazines are a real help as well, with the "features of the month" type of articles. I'm off to a Canberra Astronomical Society meeting tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to have a gander through a few scopes.

Cheers again for all the answers, I'm so happy to have found such a helpful forum. Aussie based to boot!
