angusw2 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just got home after a 5 hour round trip to pick up my new (to me) dobsonian, a 12" Orion Optics. Cue the clouds... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eddy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Very nice, looks long, what f ratio is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Congrats on the new scope Angus, just in time for Galaxy season. That's a beaut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusw2 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Very nice, looks long, what f ratio is it? F5.3 ... I think, I can't see any specifications on it at all. Every other telescope I have seen has objective diameter, focal length and f ratio. Orion Optics list f4 and 5.3 options and this was advertised as f5 so I think it's the latter.
