10" dob adaption suggestions (PSP attendee) :-)

[KerryAnn23]

Ok so when I was at PSP2 in October I bought a 10" dob, everyone came to look at it and help me get it collimator and stuff but people also suggested ways of improving it too. I remember a suggestion about tracks on the base to make scope track so I'm wondering if u remember who said it or know of anyone who has done this.... Or any other modification too, thanks in advance x

Not sure what you are after specifically but try googling "Dobsonian Base Mods" and you find things like

Do you mean setting circles?

They're on GaryM's link.

Or are you talking of adding motors to the base?

Like this!?

Cheers

Thanks guys il take a look at these, I'm not sure what the person suggested exactly as they were all passing comments about the potential for my scope once I got all the other stuff I needed, keep the ideas coming though as I have most things I need now for the hobby so it's all about improvements now :-) x
