Hi dodgyd and welcome to IIS.
You would be most welcome at the PC.
We were all first timers once so don't be put off by that.
If you decide to come we have plenty of scopes to look through and a lot of experienced observers to help if needed.
If you come, the directions are posted on the website how to get there.
It is expected to be very cold tonight (0 degrees) so bring plenty of warm gear to be comfortable such as thermals,beenies, gloves, lined boots etc..(It won't be as cold as Katoomba though I would expect)
Cheers Rick
