Hi everyone!

[OscarTheGrouch]

Welcome Sakura - I'm not a native of Australia, but did live there as a kid - Castle Hill, west of Sydney.  It was a great place to grow up and I miss the weather - According to Google Streetview, the house I used to live in is still there and remains an awful shade of mustard yellow with a terracotta colour drive - Not much has changed in (has it really been that long?) 31 years!!!!

I hope you enjoy your new scope, no matter whether you go for the 6", 8 or even 10!

Hi and welcome.

I can vouch for the Skywatchers being great scopes for the money. I'm loving my 200P. Whether you go dobsonian or equatorial you'll have a blast with it

Clear skies to you...

Hi,

great news, I hope you'll have lots of clear nights to use it, and have fun doing so! :-) Keep us posted.
