Sorry everyone... This is probably my fault. Not a new telescope, but my fiance and I have just bought a house out on the fringes of Melbourne at "The Basin".. About 40km east of Melbourne near the Dandenongs. The sky "just" starts to get dark around there. We moved in last week, attached is the photo of our view out the back, my telescope is next to the back door waiting for a peek through the clouds, so I've probably jinxed us all for at least a few more weeks
