Amateur Astronomers

My wife kindly bought me an 80 mm ED refractor with an EQ3 Go To mount. Assembly is OK but having problems with basic aligment/use.

Any astronomers out there within driving distance of Kerikeri who would help one evening for beer and petrol money?

Thanks
Peter

I know of someone up here if you can't find anyone else - know of, rather than that he's a close acquaintance but I know someone who knows him that well. I don't know if he'd be keen but if astronomical interest is anything like orchid-madness, it wouldn't surprise me.

Hi Ruth

Thanks - dealing 'indirectly' initially would give him the opportunity to decline (especially as we are 15km south of Keri). I will wait and see if I have any other offers
