A great story, Pat, and a pleasure to hear from someone who has done his research before committing to a purchase. Although I am also a rank newbie and still get a thrill from finding Mercury in the evening glow, and the Jewel Box, I like to think that just by reading through the posts on these forums, I should be able to make relatively wise decisions on purchases without having to post another oneliner "What scope should I buy?"
Are you far out of town in Dubbo? I took my scope there a few weeks ago while visiting my daughter, and even on the outskirts of town, the seeing was miles better than I can get in Sydney.
I wish you many years of astro discovery and dark skies!
Cheers
Graeme
