Morning all,
Brian - we're certainly going to take our time building up a collection of eyepieces. We will possibly invest in just one good one for the time being.
Erick - went looking at shrouds last night. I'd wondered how you kept extra light out of the centre of the scope! Miss 10 (Em) says that she's quite happy to freeze or be bitten and as she's a night owl, getting no sleep isn't a problem for her.
Kistuna - thanks so much for your list of information. We ordered the Backyard Astronomer's book last night through Fishpond.com.au (around $32 including free postage). When I get the telescope I'll be sure to get the Cheshire EP as well. That EP looks like something to go on the shopping list as well.
Ballaratdragons - what you said is so true. My PhD supervisor's hubby is a part of the Research School of Astronomy at my Uni. Em asked my supervisor what her hubby did now and she replied "raises funds for museums". Not quite what Em had in mind!
Thanks once again everyone. I'm going to ring up and place an order today - still tossing up between the 8" and the 10"
Nat
