Hey Andreas ... great to hear you got your scope!!
Do you know your way around the sky much?? A star can sometimes not be too exciting ... unless it is double/triple/coloured.

There are a few wonderful objects up there for you to check out!!

Print out the January copy of Skymaps, and it shows you what constellations are up, and planets ..... then on the 2nd page it gives you a list of objects to find.

Stellarium is another great and free resource you can download onto your computor pop in Adelaide in the location, and it will show you what is up ... and you can forward the times to can plan ahead.
Try and catch Jupiter before it sinks in th west after sunset ..... though it doeasnt get dark til late in SA so may miss it, but Mars is rising about 1030pm

Good luck and have fun.
.... oh ... Andrew has beat me to it !!
