So will be picking up a 10" DSO from Andrews Communications (again thanks to this Forum) this afternoon and will be looking up for the Starship Enterprise this evening....if Scotty can get those engines to work.
And apparently it is traditional to apologise in advance to the rest of you for the poor weather that is about to overtake Sydney  |
Good on ya Gazza
and Welcome to IIS
Its good to see you have been reading up already and know the local protocols. (BTW - Good choice.)
If you need any help or have any further questions, do not hesitate to post them.
To keep the enthusiasm, it is good to seek out an observing group near you.
There are a few in Sydney, and a few Sydney siders even come up to our Mangrove Mountain sessions at the "MM Pony Club".
Look under the Star Parties forum.
Keep looking Up.
Regards
Allan
