Hi

Hi all,

Another newbie here (in more ways than one)...I joined this incredible site a while ago and since then have been caught reading on and on and on. What a great load of info there is here!!! Finally have got my act together enough to say hi to you all.

My other half gave me a Skywatcher 150mm EQ3 reflector and it gets lugged outside most nights and many mornings for the awesome sights in the sky. We are very lucky living miles out of town, with pretty dark skies. Does anyone know of others around the Shepparton area? I know there is a good club in Albury, but with little kids it can be a bit of a schlep to get over there.

Hear from you...now back to the info reading
