Hello all

My name is Peter, I am in Brisbane.
I was getting in to astronomy many years ago, but I seperated from my wife and she burnt all my stuff including telescope.

I am now starting out again. I have been refreshing with books and on the internet.

If anyone wants to sell some gear please PM me

.I am only starting out. So don't scare me with prices to much.

I would like to get a hold of a Cassegrain 6" or more. Surely some one who has been in this for a while has one sitting there they don't use anymore.

Thank you to Volans for introducing me to the site.

I have been reading and watching for awhile.

Great site.

Have you checked through the Buy, Sell and Trade Forum yet?

Welcome Peter! Glad you've have come out of lurk mode.

Sorry to hear about your scope.

Ouch!

I would suggest that you get involved in an observing group in your area, so while you are saving for some equipment you can "spark" your interest by having some fun actually observing. I'm sure there are some folk on this forum near you who you can link up with.

Good luck, and welcome to the IIS family.

All the best Peter,

you will find many nice folk here.

Thanks guys

I have been looking, Keep checking here and on ebay. Ebay stuff keeps getting taken off as false sales.

I am hoping to get a pm from someone here with a cassegrain sitting in the back ground with no use
