Ruud Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Darwin, that must be an excellent location for amateur astronomy. Lucky you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeehanger Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm out in the suburbs so some good clear skies.About 30 minutes from here we can get virtually zero light pollution, so the purchase had to be made - just need to dodge the crocs!

BeanerSA Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'll be on holiday up that way for Christmas. I'm going to borrow the niece's scope while I'm up that way. I'm hoping to see some more northerly sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeehanger Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Might be a bit wet up here around that time, but still great if it's clear.I'm heading to the US then, but not sure about taking the telescope that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
