Hello Roger, welcome to SGL.

Welcome Roger, you've found the best astro forum. Lot's of experienced astronomer's here so ask away.

Hi Roger, 

Looks like were both from the same neck of the woods. I too am just getting into the swing of things and made a few purchases already. Let me know what club you have approached as I am also looking for somewhere to learn and meet like minded astronomers. I have an interest in photography and am looking at building a rig orientated in that direction, I also have a basic non-tracking viewing rig which I use. Happy to share some info with you if needed.
