Without this book (The Dobsonian Telescope) I would have been a bit lost, It's the way I went about building my telescope.

i talked to a few bookshops yesterday about getting it in and they cant get them anymore.... have to get them from that site or not at all

I got my copy from Bintel 2 years ago, they still have it listed....

[frogman]

no way in hell am i paying $84 for it when its $30 odd from the supplier

[Comet Hunter]

that wouldn't be $30 Aust. ...... but yeah it is abit more than importing it yourself but saves a lot of screwing around when you dont have a credit card etc....

[frogman]

$80 tho i d rather add40 to it and get an EP

Oh well

[Comet Hunter]

Each to thier own.... spending ~$80 on a book that teaches you how to make something which will save you many $100's on buying a commercial product (particularly the larger sized scopes) ...... priceless :)

Never used the book and my Dob turned out okay, all info off the net. Each to their own I guess.
