hi all :-)

i own a 10" skywatcher 250p flextube dobsonian auto-tracker.

i was wondering if anyone else has the same 10" telescope, and what eyepieces and accessories you use most?

thanks.

I have a dob I built using the same mirror and truss tube.

The bad news is that it's quite demanding of eyepieces at f/4.7. My 32mm Revelation eyepiece which has been a favourite in all my other scopes just won't cut the mustard any more. At the moment I'm dithering over which of a Tele Vue Panoptic or one of the 82 degree Explore Scientific eps, or a Meade 5000 UWA I should replace it with. Whichever one I choose it's not going to be cheap

Oh, Telrad. Just buy a Telrad. Or a Rigel, but I have the Telrad and it's lovely.

james is right,a scope like this is crying out for decent ep's..flocking is a cheap way of improving the scope.
