You're welcome! You won't get dark skies around Kirribilli, I guarantee it. Far too much light pollution from the Sydney basin. Dark skies really do make a difference to what you can see imho.

As to the powermate, I'd really recommend not going that route. It'll be rare that you'll be able to really use high magnifications to be honest. You'll probably want to keep under 250x with that setup. Seeing WILL dictate how much magnification you can use - by seeing I mean the quality of the seeing conditions (things like air turbulence etc).
