12" DOB Improvements...Upgrades.......

[deepspacehunter]

I picked up a CELESTRON DOB 12" a few weeks ago....Since then.... I have Cleaned the MIRROR,  ( I always clean the Mirror when I buy a used DOB )..... Replaced the Factory Springs in the Mirror Mount,  Installed a 12 x 80 ANTARES FINDERSCOPE.....I also put a 2" Strip of Velcro down the back of the Tube, and I have 2    2.5 #  Weights that can be mounted anywhere on the Velcro, My balance is always fine... This TELESCOPE is a JOY to use... and  I named it CYCLOPS  !!!
