Hi Don,
I attended the public night at Macquarie Uni- heaps of different scopes available and everyone just so helpful. A great way for novices like me to learn from people who know a thing or two!!
I also dropped in and said hello to Glen on the Quasar stand. I purchased their book -Astronomy 2009- talk about a wealth of information!!
As a complete novice, I would have to say public nights like these, and by talking to various club members at them, is a great way to get started.
Joe
