Another vote for the 8"dobsonion. A fabulous scope.will show you some fantastic views.and simple to use.IMHO.

They slide past each other. Hope this helps.I too cannot find the YouTube video now.it is a simple idea .and not to difficult to make.I did put pics up about how I made the slow motion controls in diy astronamy section whilst.I was making it.

I will try to explain. The wooden center section has 2 separate holes.which the 2 metal rods go into.the lower rod is a plain rod.and is used for large adjustments with a locking knob.the upper rod is threaded.with a handwheel for fine adjustments.this a basic explanation. Hope it help you understand.

I can't upload a video to this site for some reason.much to my annoyance.but it works very well indeed.

Just thought I'd add the latest upgrades.easy to spot.

Nice.put lots of pics up.

Unable to upload video. So heres a picture.

It's a 200p skyliner. And a work in progress.much more to do to it.thanks.I like the 200p. It's easy to manage.and very capable of great viewing.it will be my one and only scope.have no plans to go bigger.but I do like to look at some of these huge dobsonion scopes.

Like this.I've had no issues with collomation.works really.

It lives in the conservatory.

My modified 200p skyliner.will do video later today and put it on .ok.thanks.

My modified 200p skyliner.

Well done and an excellent choice of scope.it will do everything you want and more.it will last you a lifetime. One of the best alround scopes on the market.enjoy.

It has no issues .very smooth and very fine adjustments. So much better than nudging .it very easy to build.compared to the commercially available setup.

Congratulations on getting a great scope.you'll enjoy it for years.
