It might be worth contacting someone at ASV as they have events at a dark site near Heathcote. I think they might also have telescopes which members can borrow. I see from their web site that they have a "New Astronmers Group". Might be worth checking out. Some IIS members will know more than I do. There might also be IIS members close to you who might offer you some time to help you get started. It will make quite a difference if you can look through some scopes, and even get someone to show you what you can do with some binoculars.
