Hi Sus , did you manage to get out last night ? the moon was great up here in Darwin in my lil 60mm TAK , really sharp with lots of detail seen .
One Q , is your scope on an " Equitorial " type mount ? and I suppose you know to point the "Right Assention " axis towards the south ?
, I have to ask , because I know a lot of newbies that were not told this by the people that sold them their new scopes .
.
Difficult to use properly if not .
This is sad but true .
Brian.

Barry what type of telescope do you have?
I got a manual one...mainly so I did not have to worry about batteries but I am finding it hard to work out how to find things!
Anyways for now I'm still amazed at the moon and have seen a few stars...which I never knew would look like how they actually do!
All very exciting anyways and I'm hoping to talk a friend around to go to the Observatory as they are meant to be very helpful in telling you more about how to use your telescope.
Have fun!!
