My partner "wasn't entirely happy" when she saw my new 8" dob for the first time .... Lawd knows how she would have reacted to a 14"...😨

I had the same problem. I wonder where she is now...

I need to leave this thread. All those photos of the big Dobs are stirring something inside me.

 

Repeat after me, mirrors are for shaving! Mirrors are for shaving!

 

Phew, think my wife might kill me if another scope shows up. Especially a monster Dob.

Have a word with @niallk, he seems to have the golden touch here!!

Think it blends in nicely with your wood floor and the chest of drawers 🤫

When I had a 12 inch solid tube dob I kept it in the corner of our dining room. My other half (a gardener) occasionally threatened to fill it with soil and grow something in it, if I misbehaved 😬

On one of the SGL star parties a 20 inch dob arrived being towed behind the owners car in a small horse box and was lowered down ramps using an electric winch. Very impressive !

We have one of these at my astro society observatory which I get to use from time to time 🙂

Hmmm, there’s a Dob in there? 🤔

Impressive looking things - would love to look through one one day 🤤

Judging by all the photos on this thread, they are so good they work in daylight 🤪😁

Just hang a bulb from the Secondary and it becomes a perfect lamp 👍
