Hi Janine - welcome to the fold. Sad thing is, we used to have quite a nice club at Murdoch Uni, complete with observatory with a few decent sized telescopes in it. Although you look like you're already being pretty well looked after, I live very close to Murdoch, and have an equatorial permanently set up so you can always pop in and have a look to see what all that's about. I disagree with the comment that an equatorial is a bad way to start, personally I think it's the best way to start.
Did you go to the astrofest last weekend at Curtin?
regards,
Andrew.
