Hi Kev,
Welcome to IIS
and congratulations on your recent purchase.
As Tony said, we will try to meet on a saturday close to the New Moon (weather permitting). And yes, newcomers are welcome (and encouraged).
But if you are like me, and would want to give the scope a test run, and you want some company/support, you can bring it for a ride to my place this weekend (or whenever) and I will help you with things like alignment collimation and generally setup.
With the moon near full, it will be tough to see too much DSO. But the moon will be there, and maybe we can have a look at Jupiter and the Orion Nebula.
I am located about 30 minutes north of you. Between Wyong and Toukley.
If interested, PM me for details.
If not, hope to see you at the Pony Club in December.
Cheers
Allan
