Sus , if I was you I would snap up that Plossel set in the "eyepieces for sale" section here at IIS classifieds , these are of good quality
, and at $12 each for 5 = $60 + $12 postage they are a steal , grab them at this price and you wont have to buy anymore for a loooong time .
Just answer the Ad , or click on their name and send a PM ( private message ) .
.
Go for it Sus , I am suprised they have not been taken yet !!
.
Brian.

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!!
