Dobsonian

[Bodkin]

Hi all. Does anyone feel able to house and use a 14 inch dark star dobsonian?  It is available for free to a good home as long as it is picked up from Llanwrtyd Wells. Fairly barebones; simple focusser and telrad base. My ten inch is my grab and go scope and this one is just too big for quick sessions.  It would be nice if it stays in Wales so I am offering it here first. If you are interested PM me.

Would be great if it goes to someone with inspiration that's new to the hobby.

I would happily throw in a couple of starter eyepieces to help a beginner get started.

What a great gesture - be good if a local group/school could make use of this.

The 14 inch has gone to be used by an astronomical society.  I am very happy with the outcome!
