Another hello from Australia


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi to all the members,

I started the journey in this wonderful hobby some 38 years ago however I have been taking a break the last few years as life threw a few curve balls my way. I've been keeping an eye on a few forums around the world but I thought SGL might be the best one to hang my hat on.

I live about 90 minutes from Melbourne, Victoria and I'm using this Summer (your Winter) to reintroduce myself into amateur astronomy. I have on order an 18-inch truss Dobsonian in the process of being constructed by a local telescope builder.

I own a Lunt LS60THaPT solar scope so solar observing will be my focus over the next few months. I am currently without a mount or tripod so that will be my first set of forum questions.... stay tuned...

Looking forward to learning all over again.

Cheers, Stephen

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun. 🙂

I guess you’ll have more chances than me to use the Lunt over the next few months - the Sun can barely be seen above the trees in my garden in winter here. 😑

A big warm welcome from a member who has a brother residing in Melbourne. Visited a few years back, very nice place.

Thanks Marv, I love this city and I am fortunate enough to live on the outskirts to call it country.
