Here's a forwarded email I recieved from the former President of the N'cle Astonomical Society.
Unfortunately it was in my spam folder. Saw it after the 20th. Still, I paid $8:97 and down loaded Kindle. Not a bad little book.

Read the email...too lazy to edit it.
Enjoy.


Dear G***,
This e-book is a collection of more than 110 short and easy-to-read articles about stargazing, articles that will inform, inspire, and intrigue you, whether you're an experienced stargazer or a complete beginner. Most of these articles take just a minute or two to read and help you cultivate your fascination with the night sky. You can find the book here:

http://amzn.to/T50d44

With this e-book, you'll get ideas on how to choose and use telescopes and accessories, along with techniques to help you get the most out of whatever equipment you have, whether it's binoculars, a telescope, or simply your unaided eyes.
You'll discover stories of intriguing astronomers both famous and obscure who made discoveries, sometimes in the face of formidable obstacles, that changed our understanding of the universe.
And you'll make short visits to sights in the solar system and deep sky to learn a little of the science of astronomy, and gain the pleasure of seeing some of the most beautiful sights in nature.
Get a copy for yourself.
Share this email with friends and colleagues who may be interested in stargazing.
And pass this opportunity on to your astronomy club, or your favourite science teacher, or anyone else who may wish to know more about the night sky.
The e-book is available at no cost at the Amazon Kindle store until midnight (Pacific Daylight Time) on Saturday, October 20, 2012. Get the book here:

Happy reading, and clear skies...

Brian Ventrudo

Publisher, One-Minute Astronomer

P.S. Right now, the book is only available in Kindle format, which is readable on an Amazon Kindle device, or with a Kindle app on an iPad or Android device.

G'day people

Here is the link to watch the Partial solar eclipse on 14th Nov. from Newey. Times are listed.

http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/australia/newcastle

For total eclipse you will need to fly to Cairns or Port Douglas.

CHECK AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC SHOP FOR SOLAR VIEWING GLASSES

PLEASE READ BELOW

WARNING
Witnessing a solar eclipse is truly a magnificent and memorable experience for anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to observe this extraordinary event.
While this is an amazing sight to behold, looking directly at the Sun without proper eye protection can cause serious and permanent eye damage



Clear skies and good luck

Venus, Mercury and Mars are setting at twilight in the west. Saturn and the brighter of the two gas giants, Jupiter are in the east.
I think Fred said you needed a clear view to the western horizon to catch Mars.

Hi JSom.
Apologies for not replying to this publically.
Maybe someone has already replied via a PM?

I'd highly recommend beginning with a refractor telescope.
They're easier to use compared to a reflector and they can be used for terrestrial viewing too.

Reflectors usually have an equatorial mount and need to be set up with a north-facing orientation, so a bit more involved.

Here's a link to a simple refractor from National Geographic. It's an OK price too for starting out with a young person.
