tinvek

nice review, i'm trying to make my mind up over a second finder aswell

re double sided tape, try the rolls of double sided number plate tape that halfords sell, it's very strong. in fact at times it's almost too strong, i wanted to hold a cordles number pad on the centre of my logitech wheel and used some of this tape as i was out of velcro. when i came to replace it with velcro i had a hell of a job getting the numberpad off the wheel

i can see greenish colour in the orion neb on a good night with the 10" dob but only since i got a half decent eyepeice, using a bog standard shywatcher or (to my eyes) the better celestron 25 mm that came with the c80 ed just showed a grey image

congrats on finding saturn. its a wonderful sight that i can't resist every morning when i come home from work ( though it'll soon have to be evenings before i go to work) even if i don't look at anything else. despite looking at it so often i still get the wrong object when its a cloudy or misty and i loose my bearings
