Hi all, back (yet) again

[david o]

Just to say hello, back after a long hiatus.

Spent the last 5 years setting up and running a bar, here in Catalunya (NE Spain).

The business has cut down the time and energy I have for all of my hobbies.

Recently got a 2nd hand 8" GSO Dob (the basic model) at an irresistible price, lets see if it can help me rekindle at least one of my passions.

Welcome back David

Unfortunately time is an enemy to all of us when comes to hobbies

U should have fun with your dob

Solid tube or collapsible type?

Hi David and welcome back...... If the spanish weather here has been an indication of yours this year as well, its been pretty dire! Good to see you back - I hope that your mojo is awakened

Hello David, and welcome back to SGL, won't take long to rekindle the fire,

get out there and enjoy.

Clear Sky's.

Hi welcome to SGL from Pete in Bedfordshire ?

Hi, Dave, and welcome back.

If an 8" dob can't rekindle the flame, I don't know what will.

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome.

Cletrac1922, it's a solid tube Dob.  Just about as basic and as simple as can be.

Hopefully this little beast can light my fire and get my mojo working ...

Update.

Finally got 1st light with the Dob last Friday.

What a treat, 1st light, a total lunar eclipse and Mars opposition!

Can't wait to get out again :)
