Thanks Iceaxe,
I've been sitting on the fence for too long. I have a cheapie department store telescope that has some really sub-par eyepieces that I think spoilt my fun, though it was capable of resolving the Galilean moons.
What's sparked my interest again was doing the tripod astrophotography.
Your advice about not buying a telescope yet comes a little too late as I have already placed an order with Bintel. That may arrive this week I hope.
Stellarium is a good program for seeing what's up. I used to use Distant Suns on the Amiga.
Mt Barker isn't too far away if they are having an event of interest, but for monthly meetings or whatever they have - who knows. It is a bit of a hike.
