I am a beginner returning to astronomy after a break. Yasi encouraged me to replace my old telescope.

I have a couple of questions;

- I now wear glasses. How will the affect my use of a telescope? (They are mainly to assist with reading).

- I had an 8" DOB (reflector) and am thinking of the same or similar. I would like starting some beginning photography - can I use this. (I know it won't track images in the sky - but I can't curently justify a more expensive scope just yet). I am happy to start with the moon and planets.

- Does anyone know of some contacts for clubs / groups in the Townsville to Cairns region. I have accessed the Townsville website but haven't made contact yet.

Thanks
