Bob's Knobs - a joy to use

[philipok]

Despite my wife's raised eyebrow when a padded envelope marked Bob's Knobs arrived from the US, they're a treat..

I just fitted them to my 10" lx200 in daylight, did a rough collimation and then a fine one on an artifical star (a bauble dangling from my hedge).. really very easy to use. and I was terrified by the prospect of collimation.

Can't wait to see the results - particularly as it was way out.

Highly recommended accessory

Very responsive and professional dealer. Plus you do get the nice envelope... and the STAMPS!

The latter, probably of lesser appeal, in these internet days!

Just ordered some on the basis of these posts...Thanks people for the info. Great this interbob thingy....You lot tell me what to buy and Paypal tells Bob where to send his knobs!! What next??

Took 6 days from ordering to arriving at my house which isn't bad considering its come from all the way over there!

Makes life so much easier, especially when you have to collimate a flexi dob on every outing.

Bob is a top guy to deal with. Alll I need now is the weather to try it all out!!

Mine came yesterday. Very fast service. Just have to fit them now.

Nice knowledgeable guy. Bit pricey but at least you know they'll fit and he helped me mount a AltAz SynScan on a more substantial tripod than the lump of jelly supplied with the 'scope.

Since then, Alan of Skies The Limit has tapped the base plate to the normal Astro thread of one of his 2" tripods. Must buy another BT eyepiece from him to compensate.

We are so lucky that the traders are helpful and not as avaricious as bankers and hedge fund managers.
