Thanks everyone for the replies.
Seems the common advice is to go to a public night and see whats available that might suit me.
Yes Jacquie, the Snake Valley people are not that far away. I'll get in contact with them.
I would like to be able to view our solar system planets. I understand with some telescopes you can see the rings of Saturn and even some distant galaxies. Is that true? Attaching a half decent camera is something I would like as well.
I have looked at some of the images on the forum, some are awesome, especially the deep space ones. If I can get images like some of those I'd be happy.
It seems Cassegrain type is pretty popular with Meade and Celestron the popular brands.
Although I currently live in Ballarat, we plan to move to Bright, Vic. The stars are so bright out that way, it should make viewing even more enjoyable.
