Introducing myself
Hi all! Fantastic Aussie site - kudos to all involved. I am a complete newbie, having received a C130 GT from my darling wife for Xmas - mind you, I had thrown out some hints  My normal optical viewing is of a different sort - I spend my days exploring areas where the sun definitely doesn't shine with high resolution scopes - of the endoscope and colonoscope type 
I hope you will be patient with me as I learn my way around the skies and scopes. I have not yet developed any specific astronomical areas of interest - but I will be getting into photography. Nice to meet you all
Don

Welcome Don.
With a name like "Moonshine", you will not be popular in the Deep Sky section, where the light of our Moon is seen as a curse, rather than the object of beauty adored by Lunar imagers!
Cheers

G'day Moonshine, are you the bright shining object in the sky type or the illegally brewed alcoholic beverage.

Hi moonshine, welcome to IIS. It's fun, well more than looking in dark crevasses with illuminated point things (not that I'd know)

With an occupation like yours, perhaps you could just go by the name of "Moon"?

I don't think one could stop learning about the night sky and telescopes, there will always be something new for all of us.
Welcome aboard to IIS Don, and enjoy your stay here.

thats what they all say!! Welcome aboard and prepare your wallet!!, you will need it when you start to get more and more hooked. Actually this is worse than drugs, the only cure in more astronomy!!
PS: at least you know a little about optics!!! you should be able to resolve some detail that we might miss
