hi guys,

So I just picked up an old 8" dobsonian for $100 today. I've never even looked through a telescope before, so a complete newbie at this.

From what I can tell, it's all intact, except there are no eye pieces. Primary mirror and tube itself looks a bit dusty, which I suppose I can give a clean. Components are mounted on Parks branded mount, which apparently is a good brand. There's also some sort of laser pointer scope.

So my question is, where to from here? Can I just buy any eye pieces, put it in and start looking. What would you recommend? What other accessories do I need? Finally, was it a good buy at $100?

Thanks,

Vonm
