A Bargain Dob project for someone?

[Alfian]

Noticed this on AB? That is the the 150 Dob OTA at £67.28 and falling.

That's got to be an absolute bargain for someone.

[nightfisher]

Just over £50 now, please will some one buy this and take temptation away

[Saganite]

very tempting but I have just bought another refractor.

[Dazzyt66]

Yeah, I'm very tempted at £51....

Enjoy! Looking forwards to hearing how things go with it.

My dad bought one last week for just over £50 from the same place. He is now in the process of building a base/mount. 

Absolute bargain i think. 

[Dazzyt66]

Yeah, I saw it but missed that one, must be fate lol[emoji108]

How are the drawn sketch notes coming along for your build?

[Dazzyt66]

Fine n dandy [emoji6] I'm basically copying the design from the sw manual for the base with a few little mods - all the materials based on stuff I already have. Planning to do a pic by pic story as I start it tomorrow fingers crossed! [emoji3]

Will you be adding setting circles into the base?

[Dazzyt66]

Nowt so fancy at this point - I'm a star hopper anyway [emoji846]

I am gonna set a compass in the base though to start and maybe jazz it up more later...
