Incidentally, Mt. Waverley isn't too bad. I have been able to view the Tarantula neb. from here amongst quite a few Messiers all within the last month - albeit before the bushfires spread their ugliness over the countryside and into the skies.
Thanks all,

I think a UHC filter will perform well at 150mm aperture, but it's best to try first before splurging the money. Ofcourse, melbourne weather has been garbarge, and will be as per usual, but try before you buy.
