Hello,
I just wanted to tell about how I got my scope it is a amazing story.
I am member of SEQAS (south east queensland astronomical society). I've been a member for about a year. I've alway been interested in space but never anything practical,............ till now. I am also interested in photography. I reacently atended QLD astrofest I didn't have a telescope then but I hired one from the club. When I was up at duckadang, Peter Marples,(from SAS) saw me and got on to Ron&Claire of Sirius Optics, Underwood to see about getting me a telescope (I had no idea) and they, DONATED a Southern Cross Eight Inch Dobsonian with Two Eye Pieces and, Star Charts(from colin) , I still am still so shocked and suprised by their generosity. And on that tuesday colin came over and showed me tortartas (that asteroid), I was so suprised it was moving so fast I never imagened I would see an asteroid and reconise it. I can't belive how encouraging some people are. I can't say how much I apreachete it.
