Hi Everyone,
My name's Aaron and I've just joined today. I'm very excited to be part of such a wonderful site and I am looking forward to getting my first scope.
Over the last couple of months I've been using a planisphere and red light torch getting to know the constellations before I take the plunge to get my first scope.
I've discovered that where I live on the Gold Coast, Qld that it is difficult to locate a "Dark site."
I've also read a book called Star Ware 2nd Edition that lists helpful sites such as beaches, farmland and golf courses. However some of these places have restricted or limited access.
I'd like to hear if anyone has any suggestions as I don't mind driving to dark sites??
Cheers,
Aaron
