Purchasing a Big Dob

That looks really nice the mirror box is a work of art. -
I set up the Tal by the time I had polar aligned clouds rolled in took all my kit back in. Then it went clear again but I knew it was going to cloud over again so packed in for the night. Definitely going to try 12 Lynci I love pulling triples out.

Almost Ready For a 5" Frac!
wookie1965 replied to Sunshine's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
The weight of my 5" was the reason I sold it the EQ5 could not cope with it it was a bit over the maximum payload. It was heavier than the 200p it came with and that was precurious. -
Some really great objects there a few I have not seen so I will be copying them down. Some I have viewed and are worth looking at over and over again.

wookie1965 replied to mikeDnight's topic in Members Equipment Gallery
Can I ask which Refractor is the one most people would love in their possession I have seen loads of posts about Takahashi`s but I have read posts about the Skywatcher Equinox 120ED so if money was no object what would you go for. -

Collimation tools help for newbie
wookie1965 replied to offfoo182's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
When I first got a Reflector many years ago I used "Astro Baby`s" The method by Spile was unavailable to me at the time but is very very good. What I did use was this guide which simplify things into one step at a time without confusing reflections, https://web.archive.org/web/20200223041214/http://www.schlatter.org:80/Dad/Astronomy/collimate.htm -
