Great. Thanks doppler. That’s a really interesting comment because there seems to be so many people on youtube or in blogs recommending the use of filters. Are there any times when you feel filters are beneficial excluding those specifically designed for viewing the sun?
And can anyone recommend a good tool for collimating a Dobson 8? Budget under $100 preferable.
