Thanks Ric & Brian,
This forum is a great place to pick up knowledge. We may not be having a wet season down here but the weather forecast seems to be missing the mark lately. Overcast skies seem to be the norm at the moment. With a bit of luck the NT and Nth Qld will avoid being hit by another big cyclone this season. You have already had a close call. Hope you get clear skies soon.
Your right! The 12" mirror is providing stunning views. Once it is collimated the stars are pinpoints of light. 47 Tuc just gets better the more it is magnified. The Jewel Box is one of my favorite open clusters and the Orion and Tarantula Nebulas are eye openers with the OIII filter. Years of stargazing ahead of me.
