Hello All
Here I am again with what I hope is not a pointless post.
Today was a beautiful spring day and I ventured down to Adelaide to buy a telescope. A 10 inch Skywatcher Dob. As I stood in front of the collapsible 10 inch version admiring its beauty (they really are a beautiful piece of equipment) gently moving it around, a thought crept into my mind.
If I centre it onto an object, focus it and then get my daughters to look through it. Are they going to see anything? Knowing my girls and the dramas they can create probably not.
&*$% . There I was ready to buy one and I came home with nothing because now, I am tossing up about a goto Dob.
Any thoughts about this? I know its my telescope but I want others to enjoy the views too, particularly my kids. If the object is tracking they will see it.
I have thought long and hard about this scope for a while and done a lot of research plus had some great advice on this forum. I really though I was done. Lol.
