Hi,
I live in Caloundra and at age 54 recently got my first telescope a Celestron 6SE.
Apparently there was an Astronomy club in Caloundra some years back, but alas for what reason I am not sure but it no longer exists.
If you live in Caloundra and would like company one night when taking your scope out let me know and if I am available I would love to come along and learn a few things, no doubt
i will have a question or two........
and if you have a nexstar SE all the better as I can then learn how to best use mine.
I will not be available on Thursday nights but generally other evenings should be o.k
Or if you prefer we could meet for a coffee at the local supermarket and have a chat about good places around Caloundra to use telescopes etc.
Ian, there are a few members around that area, Lewis lives at Sippy Downs.
There used to be a gathering every now and then at Mooloolaba Beach for a bit of Outreach, not sure if they still gather there.
I also saw a few guys with scopes at Dicky Beach, but I moved from there in 2010.
Thanks all for your comments, maybe in time someone else whom lives here will drop a line.
I dont want to make it a regular thing, just now and then once in a while, it will be a good way for me to learn from others as I am new to all this and astro clubs are too far from me.
