Buying a Dob

[vlebo 63]

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.

Thanks

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

The truth about the Dob Mob is out there...

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?

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.

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.

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

Apos Rule!!

Who needs aperture when you can squint down a 2.5" scope and imagine you are seeing all kinds of things ;-)

...and the second rule about the dob mob....  Never forget rule number one. 

...Sorry I got that Friday feeling, it just takes over sometimes

The Dob section was closed when we came over to the latest version of the forum I believe. I think all kit associated sections were closed.

That was a big mistake.....now they are free to roam at will across the whole forum, scaring innocent little refractor owners ;-)

To mis-quote a film...

'That's not a scope....'

'That's a scope....!'

It's funny, I always forget that I am a fully paid up member of the dob mob!! :-)

I have recently aquired a 12" Dob, to sit alongside my 4" Refractor, and this now seems perfection, for me atleast!

Me too! What next?

[ArnieVXR 9]

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...

Spent a few hours at Kelling Heath recently gazing through a Dob of that size, and I must admit it was awesome

and I saw many objects for the first time.

Dob are rubbish that's why I've got the Telementor...hold on that's useless also. Thank goodness for bins...

[stevetynant 470]

There are only two types of astronomers,those who dob and those who wish they could :0)

Guess some of us are not worthy to look upon a Dob ?
