vlebo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I am still interested in ending up with a Dob and was wondering if I can access the Dob owners section ( Ive forgotten what it is called , maybe Dob Mob ) I cannot seem to find it.ThanksVlebo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faulksy Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 didnt no there was a section on dobs only, probably due to most people have got one or should have waiting for the apo guys to kick in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigdisVZ Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The truth about the Dob Mob is out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul73 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I didn't know there was a special section.There is a special "imaging" section. But, other than Mount discussions, most of the other other threads have cross over interest.What sort of thing were you looking for?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 There may have been something but it (they) went some time ago. Maybe when the site was updated. I can recall a Tal Owners Group, not sure about Dobsonian however.Just ask, you will get told to get one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 the first rule about the dob mob is never talk about the dob mob.......I agree, or at least am unaware of a specific section in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnieVXR Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Is there a second rule? Or can't you talk about it?Dobsonian rule #1: Ensure that it's as big as possible - aperture fever really pays dividends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Apos Rule!!Who needs aperture when you can squint down a 2.5" scope and imagine you are seeing all kinds of things ;-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all kit associated sections were closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saganite Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I have recently aquired a 12" Dob, to sit alongside my 4" Refractor, and this now seems perfection, for me atleast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnieVXR Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Me too! What next?Ditch the smaller kit and buy a 500mm dob and a 8.5-inch refractor, obviously.Selling my kit is the only way I'm allowed to upgrade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
