I've got my new 12" Orion Optics Dobs

[Tony.S]

I'm really happy,I picked it up last night from Arthur (milamber) who kindly put it together for me,also he threw in a 25mm EP,a book & a very handy red light torch,he also gave me some very helpful tips..A really nice bloke & it was a pleasure to meet him..Thanks very much mate

By the time I got home last night,after a long day at work & the almost 200 mile round trip,I was pretty tierd,so only managed a quick 10 minute whizz around the sky,the finder scope was not inline,so I didnt try to find anything in particular but I was amazed at how wide the field of view was compared to my lovely old Vixen 90mm.

I am praying that we get a clear spell tonight,now I've aligned the finder scope to have a better look & cant wait to get some more eyepeices with more magnification.

You're welcome Tony, always good to meet buyers - I know you will be well pleased with the scope as you get more time with it. Just the "C" word to learn now

Tony,

I'm really envious, I'd have been on my way to East Anglia to buy that scope if I didn't live in the North of Scotland. Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Really pleased for you Tony, I'm sure you'll get plenty of opportunity to get some light shining through it.
