Is there a club?

Hi Di,

Welcome to IIS. I'd second the MPAS suggestion above. It's a little drive from Dandenong but a great group of very helpful people.

Cheers,
Af.

Definitely contact MPAS. Great club and the nicest bunch of people you will ever meet. They also have a great club house and semi dark observing / astrophotography site at the Briars about 30 minutes from you.
