Thanks Andy

I found the red dot thing was a pain...and the battery ran out with in a few days even though I had remembered to switch it off!
I will have a look at getting some better quality eye pieces...the only extra thing I bought was the moon filter!
So for Perth do I set it at...mmmm 34. I was just really fumbling round aiming in the general direction and then moving it slowly until I found the glow then, my goodness when I actually seen the moon...I think my whole street knew...I squealed(I'm a girl, I'm allowed) with delight...it was very exciting!
I don't know much about the sky, i just love looking at it but I do want to find out more. I was thinking that in Feb I would enrol in the Astronomy 101 at Curtain Uni as they do viewings on a Monday(I think) night if its a good night and you don't have to have a science degree to be able to do it either!!
