Thanks Peter!
I don't know much about how the photos are supposed to look, but Im impressed and would be more than happy to get similar results myself.
One more question everyone.
I know that refractors can also be used for terrestrial viewing. I am really into wildlife and would like to get a closer look at some of the birds, as well as look around the area. Would a dobsonian be okay for land viewing and tree viewing? Or is it strictly for sky viewing?
