Hi Dan
Welcome to IIS
If you would like to learn more about our night sky I suggest you join a club
I know SEQAS (
www.seqas.org) meet on the Northside every third Tuesday at the Chermside Library
They also run the Urban Observers group twice a month on a Sunday where you can take your scope and have help to find your way around the sky or look through Members scopes who are in attendance.
This is a free service to the Public and do not have to be a SEQAS Member
Hope this is of some help
Cheers
Dave
