New 10" dobsonian

Hi everybody

Finally got my first telescope last week as a birthday present from my wife, a Skywatcher 10" goto dobsonian.

I've spent the week installing a 12v fused and switched power system, foam gasket-ed diaphragm mounted primary mirror fan and a frame with wheels on it so I can pull it out without having to carry it.

Pretty proud of my work and I just thought I would share.

**Edit.
Now I just need a solar charging system so the scope is fully sustainable out bush.
