Oh ok good my niece works at aldi and a nephew at the reject shop (I get a discount) but they are 800ks away.
I think I will try standing, and a computer chair for now.
Will probably be awe struck by what I see, and need to sit down, away from the Dob.,(for 10 seconds)
Then move it all around the sky, in all directions!
Have made a mobile phone mount above the finder scope, so I can use SkyEye to find things.
Should I make an Alt and Az dial for the base and side of the Dob?
Sorry Barx1963, but cannot see how I could use star charts back to front up side down and reversed yet?
