i'm not a member of the melbourne or victorian amateur astronomical group but am considering the mornington peninsula group (only 20mins from their observing site at The Briars, Mornington) but don't have much info on the group(s).

ahh great thanks for that link!
When I searched for their website, this site didn't come up or maybe i searched for the old frankston site (which i know is now mornington peninsula).
i actually attended about a decade ago one viewing night, been a long time! I will check the calender and see what i can do, thanks a lot!

Hi, I'm from Northern suburbs (Eltham North) of Melbourne. It's good to see there are a few Astronomers out there from Melbourne. I have been a member of this forum for a while now.....but a little slow getting into it. I have just ordered another refracting telescope. the night sky here is not too bad, but it could be a lot better. How is your viewing? regards Peter ..."Keep looking up"
