Thanks folks!

Telescope arrived this morning - excellent and fast service from Ozscopes!

Just finished setting it up, let's hope for some of this cloud to lift over melbourne tonight

Congrates on the new scope. You might be in luck and be able to actually get to use it tonight.

PS to IIS.

Hehe ok you twisted my arm - I've put it back to the Picard facepalm

Thanks for the welcome! Only a few hours to go and clear skies in Melbourne, looking forward to it (despite being in quite an urban location.. my hopes aren't too high but better than nothing)
