"Does Everyone Have an 8" Dob?"

[crowlord]

I only have 5" but I have heard its what you do with it that counts! I want 8 however!

[Macavity]

4...5...6" - Onwards and upwards (albeit slowly)

[NGC 1502]

Hi, 8" Dob for me. Anyone been pinched for speeding in UK in kph ? Ed. ( Yeah I know, I put 200mm in my sig. )

[Beulah]

In mm, 66, 70, 80, 85, 140, 150, 250 and 500. But I do it for a living! Writing this has turned me a queezy green colour. I realize I'm sme kind of glass junkie and need help...

Olly

No you ain't. We aspire to your greatness...

[RobH]

3 1/4 inch, 4 inch, 4 3/4 inch, 6 inch and 12 inch.....and quite possibly a 14 inch on the way soon

English and proud to be so :D:D

[pbyrne]

Ditto.

[Robert Watson]

10" Dob + 2 others

[Peter Drew]

Yes, 8" Orion Intelliscope, other Dobs 6", 17" and 30". Refractors 3" antique, 3.5" 4" 5" 6" and 8.5", SCT 8" 12" and 16"(2), Maks 3.5",8" and 12", Mak/newt 5". Some people collect stamps, I seem to collect telescopes.

[GazOC]

Other than the 12", the 16" and the 16"+ I've got "all of the above".

See you at the Glass Junkies' Rehab, Gaz...

[WayBig]

Doh, Rounded down, can I vote again

Not got an 8 inch dob yet, tbh never wanted one before joining sgl -

I do now though

got some paradigms, some lidl bins, next up an 8inch dob and some naglers

[Moonshane]

Just as well we don't still use imperial for eyepiece focal lengths though ......

I agree. it would make using my 14mm, 18mm, and 24mm 1.25" format eyepieces a struggle, not to mention my 35mm 2" Panoptic

I voted 5" (for my 120mm frac) and 12" for my (12" dob)

[GazOC]

See you at the Glass Junkies' Rehab, Gaz...

Olly

I'm not that bad Olly. I just need to get around to selling some stuff.....honest!!!

[nitram100]

Who are the 16" + ? I want some observation reports!

[kniclander]

I have a 6, a 10 and a 3 but no 8. Do I need an 8?

[Peter Drew]

Three's becoming a crowd Olly!

[fatwoul]

MN190, so 7.5". Do we round up?

[sn00p]

Just added a 12" to my setup, so the 8" will be going at some point.

Russ if your selling the 200p closer to august im your man.... alternatively if i pay can you keep it till im passing 1 weekend???

Real shame as i just came back from the NF today and would have gladly picked it up on the way through :-(

i can most probably make a trip sooner if required but kinda defeats the object of a cheap purchase lol....

[LukeSkywatcher]

I'm amazed at how many people have a 3" scope. I wonder what you all use them for. Finder scopes for your 8" scopes?

[david o]

Got a 3" 'frac and a 7" Mak.

Voted 3 & 6, because seven wasn't an option and, well, a Mak does have that central obstruction.

[brantuk]

"I'm amazed at how many people have a 3" scope. I wonder what you all use them for"

I'm intending to use mine for widefield photography guided by an 8". Or the other way round - jury's out till I learn a bit more about snapping the sky lol

[brianb]

I'm amazed at how many people have a 3" scope.

Nice size for a grab 'n' go rich field scope. Lighter & more flexible in terms of magnification than your 20x90 bins ... does a similar job. A good 3" / 80mm frac makes a nice solar scope too.

[Roy]

20"

[EA2007]

8" Dob

8" Schmidt Cassegrain

8" Pen......

i'll stop there
