      ok well forget the goto and buy some half decent eyepieces

      emadmoussa

      Forget the goto...unless of course you don't know your away across the sky. I've got hte 300P and it's pretty powerful. I could resolve globular clusters down to the core...I do have near-good skies though.

      Can't wait till daylight starts getting shorter...I think mid August will begin to be reasonable

    will a 14 inch dob base fit thriugh a standed door?

    1. haitch

      haitch

      Depends which one. My old darkstar does and Orion Optics do I think but I'm sure I heard of someone having to adapt the base of a Skywatcher to get it to do so.

    2. firstscope

      firstscope

      thanks haitch

    3. scarp15

      scarp15

      A 14" skywatcher will not, the 12" will with an inch or so to spare. The 14" flextube base. I believe will dismantle into three sections though.
