M.O.T....on the Moonshane.

[estwing]

seeing as it was a nice day and I haven't been bothered for the last 2yrs! I thought it was time to give the scope some TLC!. Took the mirror out and with baby wipes gave the whole scope a well deserved wash, all the joy it has given me in the last 2 1/2 I think it was pay-back time. Since its construction I have enjoyed so many hours of trouble free observing with super smooth movement and balance from day one. It holds collimation rock solid all night, every night time after time. Here's to more fantastic nights and once again many thanks Shane,clear skies, Calv.

As the old Chinese proverb says: "Look after your Dob and your Dob will look after you"

Now then - I hope you're not spraying Cillit Bang that lovely Nichol mirror!

Great to see it all working so well mate. I really should find time to make my 16" into a truss dob so I use it more.

Very nice scope Calvin!

I am pleasantly surprised at how clean and tidy my little dob is managing to keep itself, must be the shower cap!

It's a beautifully crafted good looking scope, and always sounds like a top performer!

Out if interest, how often do you wash the mirror?
