Large dobs can seriously damage your wallet.

Update, new addition in form of the Skywatcher Skyliner 300P Flextube. Here's my collection of scopes to compare sizes. I think I'll stick to a three scopes rule.

I posted it elsewhere, but here it is again:

The views from the 10" dob will take some beating .

I know John I will have to think about selling one (like that's ever going to happen) I literally picked up the 250P on Saturday fitted the Telrad & did a quick collimation & tried it out at the dark site. I had to collimate it again as it was out by a mile the views I were getting with it were quite impressive & I even managed to see M76 something I haven't managed to see using the 200P. I could have added an f11 frac to the line up but then it isn't nothing special as it's only a cheap one but optically it isn't bad & I've had some good views of Jupiter with it.

The C80ED I'm hoping to use for imaging but no doubt I'll shove an eyepiece in it & have a look around when the planets are around at a decent hour. The 6"SCT I was going to use for planetary imaging but now I've got the 10" newt I'll probably use that instead although the SCT will hold steady on blustery night.

Not really pics of my setup because I several variations I use

For a second there I thought the middle one was attached to the hi-hat stand. Would make it easy to adjust the height for different people I suppose

This reminds me of a time I was at junior school, but it weren't my telescope being looked at !

[nicks90]

finally took a picture of my new (to me) 12" SW tracking dob in the back yard.

ignore the triffids/sweet corn, there`s nothing interesting behind them at this time of year anyway and they'll be gone by October when interesting stuff starts to come up!

Sky-Watcher Skyliner 200P mounted on a second hand Dual Axis Motorized EQ5!!!

[swag72]

I hope this is my final setup now!

FSQ85 mounted on an Avalon Linear Fast reverse.

[Derick]

I can't believe how big and well built the EQ5 is.

It's a NEQ6 Pro....

[RikM]

It's a NEQ6 Pro....

The mount Adz was asking about was the standard EQ5 mount in Viv's opening post.

[Derick]

This us great! Well done!!!

i thought I had already posted on this thread but it appears not so here's mine

the lights are to illuminate my digital incinometer and azimuth scale, not quite as accurate as push to but close, and a lot cheaper.

Are you sure that's not some pictures of your astro shops stock room?

my new(ish) toy Orion Optics GX250 on a Vixen GP

still needs work on alignment and a couple of mechanical niggles but first light with rough collimation showed M13, M57 and NGC869/884 nicely

Some very nice set ups guys.

Here's mine:

Eqmod+CDC+MaximDL make sure it's all pointing in the right direction.

They're supposed to go outside.
