Thanks for the warm welcome Tony, Paul, Mike, Starkler and Paul H (did I forget anyone?!).

Paul H, unfortunately I'm no construction worker, as my wife would say, just "a shiney assed lawyer!" So I hope I can handle the beast of a scope when it arrives. Maybe I'll have to bring forward the plans for a permanent observatory above the garage?

A colleague at work was telling me of a friend's father who lives in Dural (NW Sydney) who recently spent $150K on an observatory above the family room...36" Dobsonian etc, the works..I am trying to work out a way to get myself invited over!

I'll let you all know when the Celestron arrives and post any questions that arise early on. Mike, I was thinking of joining the NSW Astro Society, have you tried that? What is everyone's experience of clubs? Worth the membership fees?

Clear skies everyone!
