Hi Sam,
AWESOME, welcome to the club. (oh, and check out
www.wsaag.org if you feel like joining a club)
I thought you might get a hankering for the shorty 102 as it seemed to "fit" better, like you said, next to the bed.
Yes, +1 on the Andrews comment, I have bought pretty much all my gear (except the first scope) from there, so you have one up on me.
Good start, just remember to take the new beastie
outside once in a while so you can blow your mind with what you can see up in the night sky, even the moon will have you giggling like a schoolgirl......allegedly...
Have fun with the new toy, I see we can blame the clouds in Sydney on you and your new purchase (like washing your car, only worse)
Cheers
Chris
