Tweedledee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Fantastic, I thought it might be something big . Good luck, and please let us see some progress pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnC Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Will do. My strategy is to do the woodwork before I purchase the optics in order to see how i get on. I have always wanted an obsession scope but with the shipping and taxes etc they are out of my reach. At least this way i can achieve my dream to some degree. I will start a thread here and SGL as soon as i have something to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 A 24" dob is a very American thing. Fit's nicely in the back of your average Chevy pick up for a quick run up the mountain to mag 7 skies . Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yup - once the dobs built - the only mods you'll need are a Chevvy pickup and a Mountain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not so much a purchase but a couple of birthday presents. I got a little star globe (pictured) from my sister and a book from my lovely other half by Brian Cox an Jeff Forshaw called: The Quantum Universe:Everything that can happen does happen. Have not got into it properly yet but looks quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
