I just thought I would share some modifications to a GSO 10" Dobsonian
My General requirements were
1 Add wheels for mobility
2 Lighten the rocker box if possible
3 Add custom EP holder
4 Add holder(s) to tube to make it easier to move
5 Add balancing magnets to the tube
6 Enable multiple finders
7 A bit of style and colour
I was lucky enough to buy the scope from a fellower ICE member with board and castor style wheels. Then I lightened the rocker box buy removing structurally excess wood particle board from its 3 vertical sides. Next a platform for some eyepieces. All the tube modifications will be done when its safe to return to Victoria. Plus I love the colour Red rather than Black!
