Hey, I too am from selby north Yorkshire and a telescope noob. How are you getting on with your scope. I've struggled understand how to collimate, so its been a slow start, but I've just watched a step by step guide in how to adjust and align my mirrors:)

Claire

Welcome from Land Down Under

If you and your partner ever make it down here, show you both the southern sky

Southern Cross, known as The Crux, which contains the Jewel Box, Coalsack Nebula.

In Centaurus we have Omega Centauri close by to The Crux

When I do presentations in primary schools, and scouts groups, I also talk on Australian Indigenous Astronomy, which dates back over 30,000 years

Was taught to me by the Elders when only a child, growing up on family farm rural Victoria

Google Emu In The Sky

Hope you both have lot of fun with your new scope

Out of curiosity, what sort of scope did he buy you
