Hi all,

I'm new to IIS although not that new to amateur astronomy. I haven't done much at all in recent years so am decidedly rusty when it comes to modern equipment and methods.

I have a few assorted pieces of equipment lying around:

Cheap 80mm f/10 Mak
Vixen SP mount
Homemade 6" Newt
A Televue Plossl & a TV Nagler EP (the latter being kindly looked after for me by IIS member and long-time friend Zardos123 )
Assorted Camera equipment & other bits & pieces.

Looking to pick up an Apo soon and then maybe a 12-14" Dob sometime down the track. Unfortunately I'm somewhat hamstrung by living just a few kms from the center of Sydney so dark skies are a rarity for me these days but I'm looking forward to doing some observing and imaging again soon.

Cheers,

Pete
