Greetings from the Rockies. I am just getting into backyard astronomy, and looking forward to the challenge. We will mostly observe from between 5,200 - 8,000 feet on the mountain behind our house. I am now looking at different scopes and think I'll go for a Neutonian, but it's early days. I've watched Dobson's video on making your own telescope, but I know I'd go bonkers with the sanding. Looking forward to getting to know you all and finding my way around the site.
