Peter,
Hmmmm. To have a f3.5 Dobbie from SkyWatcher would be very, very, unusual.


Can you point the just the main mirror (no trusses, secondary etc) towards a wall while also being in the Sun? You must obviously take care!!!
Measuring the distance to a focused image on the wall from the mirror would give a very close measure of the mirror focal length.
