Skywatcher Dobsonian Telescope (10")

[digitalight]

Hi,

I'm new here to the forums and just wanted to say hi to everyone.

I have recently bought a Skywatcher Dobsonian 10'' telescope which replaces my ageing Seden 6'' Newtonian (the optics on this telescope were not good)

I have just had my first clear night using the Dobsonian and I am totally blown away with how much difference it has made.

Anyone that is new to telescopes and looking to buy, I highly recommend a Skywatcher Dobsonian. It is very quick and easy to find things in the night sky compared to an EQ mount. Setting up the finderscope was a breeze compared to other models.

Manage to see 3 belts on Jupiter tonight (before I had only seen a bright white disc.) And some great detail of Orions Nebula.

The only problem I have so far is that the 1.25'' T Adapter to connect my DSLR does not have enough focusing distance but I hope to fix that with the advice I've found on this forum.

Looking forward to more stargazing nights

Welcome to SGL. Hope you get lots of good use out of the new scope.

Best regards, Ed.

Sweet, i've ordered a skyliner 200p, not quite as big, but hopefully should be good for a first scope!
