hi

try the man from mitchell and brown retravision Geraldton

he did have meade telescope or something similar?

his name is mr brown i cant recall his first name however

still they may be able to put you in contact with him ?


or there is a person called Sam Nejab (nejab is Shortened for longer name)

he is the local astronomer guy (or was)

i dont have any contact details for you though

you can allways try to contact the local visitor cente for more info in regards to Sam Nejab

hope this is of some help ?

ive only got an 12 inch gso Dobsonian telescope so i cant help with your equipment

but if you can get a hold of Sam Nejab i am sure he can help


hope this helps

regards john


ps i havent seen or spoken to him for a couple of years Sorry

I knew there was someone up there!
Another option is if you do come down to Perth in the future check to see if there is an ASWA meeting on and tee-up some people to help you out there.

thanks guys!

we don't often get to perth but next time we go i'll try and get in touch with one of the clubs down there.

i have heard of Sam Nejab in geraldton, but can't get any contact details for him. i'll keep looking though.

and if we ever get some clear skys (and i get someone to help me move the great monstrosity with out having to pull it all apart) i'll try and get out and just 'play' with it.

thanks again for responding !!

cheers
