Introducing myself
Hi,
I have been watching and learning from these forums for a while. I live in suburban Adelaide and from my back yard, i can only see the brightest stars and never the milky way or the Magellanic clouds.
Originally started with a celestron astromaster that my wife bought for me one birthday a few years back. Very good introductory scope and showed me quite a lot of clusters and the planets, but also didn't show me a lot of stuff.
Finally upgraded to a 10" Dobsonian and joined the Astronomical Society of SA. Learnt even more about what is possible to see from back yard and from dark sites. A lot of discussions on this site suggested more is better, but also harder to transport, so 10" seemed a good compromise. I have now seen a few galaxies from astronomy club dark sites.
In future, hoping to learn even more. On my wish list are lots more galaxies and any comets.
regards
Robin
