Lauri and to the site. We have a monthly get together at Astroron's place out at Cambroon near Kenilworth most new moon weekends and you would be welcome to join us with your scope. A lot of IIS members from the area turn up.

Either that or you can bring your scope along to the Mapleton Observatory on the third Sunday of each month for the telescope workshop night. If there is none listed for the month in the bookings and courses page give Lainie the secretary a ring and she'll contact me to organize one. Her number is under the table on the bookings and courses page.

Hi Lauri

I have bought a few things form York Optical in Brisbane and have found them very helpful. I don't know if they are able to do repairs.

Good Luck,

Mark
