  1. Thanks for the review of the SL 8” been out of the game for quite a few years and looking into what’s happening in the dobsonian world these days . Previously owned a second hand SW , but having looked at this and read a few reviews , looks like I’m sold . Now for the minefield of eyepieces 😬
  2. The biggest improvement possible is bunging the gear in a car and getting out of town . I only did so once so far and the difference is quite dramatic on dso's . Better than any top end eyepiece i recon . of course I realise this isn't always possible .
  3. wow !! I wish you luck ctd. ive no idea whats involved in grinding a mirror, however I can imagine its painstaking work with a great deal of accuracy needed. ill be checking out the blog . keep up the good work. p.s - 22" geez, monsterous...!!!
