Well, you guys are great! I am loving the help I am getting
Yes, apparently Murdoch did have a good thing going, I know Chris Creagh who is the physics lecturer at Murdoch and she was telling me about it. This is why me and a few other students are trying to get it going again... but like I have said, I need to be able to use my scope first lol.
So you are near Uni, which is even better for me... I just need to go and see someone else's in action and the very basics told to me - then I will be alright
So I would really appreciate that.. I appreciate all of you guys advice you really have been awesome! DM me and we can organise something, I am up at Uni a lot.
Nope, I was only saying to Brendan that I wish I had gone to astro fest - didn't know anyone who wanted to go with me, but I still should have gone! I am finding it difficult to find ppl who are into the things I am - geology, Earth science, storm chasing and astronomy lol..... I need some friends who I can talk the talk to, or at least learn the talk!!
I have wanted a telescope since i was 10, seriously, I don't know why it has taken me so long, but now I have one - I love it no matter what it is, and I am so bloody eager to use it!! So as soon as you have time - I am well up for a little lesson
Thanks heaps
Janine

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?

Andrew.
