wookie1965 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I am now the proud owner of a 10" dob that I will be picking up tomorrow cannot wait to get first light with it. I think I will be selling my 5" refractor as I already have the Tal I can use for doubles and planets plus solar. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not had the scope long and it will be in great condition. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The StarSense Explorer facility makes it a real game changer for quickly finding objects. I presume you've probably read Ade Ashford's review in the Oct AN? I have had the 8inch since early July, and everything Ade says is spot on. I'll look forward to hearing how you get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is that when you do have some clear sky, you'll spend most of the time actually observing - rather than searching for objects. The SS facility makes a huge difference even to anyone who is used to finding objects by finders and star hopping. 😊 At Kelling I demonstrated the system to a few sceptical observers who were truly astonished how well it works.

Just hope I can set it up accurately there was no instructions for the set up of it, I have read online to set it up during the day. I would of thought it would be better on a bright star or as Jupiter is high that would be more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Dad Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’ve PM’d you but think you’ll also have more detailed info from Paul. I forgot to mention that there is a more comprehensive pdf manual available that is not actually distributed with the ‘scopes, but useful to have- StarSense Explorer Dob Manual .pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
