Guest Anthony Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi all! come December 25th I will be the proud owner of my first telescope! I have gone for the skywatcher dob 6" I know ideally I could have went with the 8" for a perfect beginner scope but have a budget to keep to Absolute newbie when it comes to stargazing but looking forward to diving in head first and meeting some of you guys Happy stargazing everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi Anthony and welcome to EMS Congrats on your new scope purchase - the 6" dob is still a very good scope for scanning round the night sky. Feel free to ask questions or advice - just start a thread in the appropriate section and someone will be along with an answer soon. Enjoy the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animaal Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 A large scope is no use if it's seldom used. The 6" is easier to move and set up, you'll see loads through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi Anthony, a warm welcome to EMS. That's great scope to start out with and it will keep you happy for a good while, there is a load that you will be able to see with it. If you have any questions feel free to ask away. I am over in Watnall, so if you need any hands on help just holler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Welcome aboard, and welcome to the Dob Mob. There's a few of us with Dobs of various different sizes. They are great scopes for visual, it won't be long before you've modded it I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
