Buying this weekend....
I've 'found' that extra for the 8" .. no new CPU for me for a while! The dob seems to be the advice from most so it's the basis of my search this weekend. Fortunately we live out of town with only one streetlight near home and a wide open paddock behind us, so I'm going to claim a spot for myself as soon as I can. Apart from arming myself with as much stuff as I can download (we did some minor star gazing for my wife's ed degree a year or two back), some books and hot drinks (still bloody cold!)..what should be on my buy list when I get the dob? I see the advantage in a EQ mount, but will wait. Collimation kit? I'm happy to be able to just scope around - the moon, major things while I learn and then gradually build up as I see fit. Tks and more to come ...
