Hi all,
my name is Michael. I've been in sydney for 2 years and I'm picking up stargazing as a hobby recently. Light pollution, however, turns out to be a big problem for me as I live in st george area. I'm planning to drive further away from urban in the coming weekends or two. any suggestions as to the destination? I've heard that blue mnt area is great for a short drive. i can accept up to two hours drive
I'm also considering buying a pair of binoculars after my uni finishes at the end of this june. my budget is around $150 to $200 coz i don't have a permanent job atm

i'd like to hear from you guys about reviews and recommendations. a pair suitable for starters would be appreciated
cheers
