Hi guys, My name is Pete, I live in Stroud NSW. I am new to Astronomy and would like to learn more. I recently bought a cheap scope from the local recyclers (for $10), took it home, set it up that night, looked at the moon and was instantly hooked. What I saw was amazing, so many craters on the moon! Since then I have been reading this forum most nights. Its a wealth of information but I still dont know what scope I should buy next :
. I would like to look at deep space more than planets and I'll spend up to $1000. I am happy to buy second hand to get a more powerful scope for the money. Any advice would would be greatly appreciated.
I have a question. Is it possible to see deep space in colour at all? Bigger scope?
Its a shame about Bretti for the 11th, its just up the road for me. How often do you go there?
Thanks guys, hope you will have me here, Pete
