Thanks Niko.
I saw that Dob advertised but its in Ivanhoe, too far for me since I am in Sydney
Do you have any experience with Skywatcher 70mm aperture 900mm focal telescopes?
Thanks for the birthday tip.. might start planting the seed now.. the only worry is that they might spend alot and not get what I want
