Which Dob
I emailed Andrews yesterday to confirm price on GSO 10" DOB deluxe one with freight to the west at $799.00. As I said it is the same price as being asked for a locally suppled Skywatcher . It appears though that the two extra lenses and the right angle viewfinder and crayford style focusser would make the GSO a better purchase. The local suppliers internet site says about asking for a discount for cash but how much this is I dont know and he is away at the moment. With the local one I was advised to buy a 32mm Plossl lense and a Collimater both of these were in excess of $80 each to buy. I would assume that the one of the four lenses coming with the GSO would be a 32mm but I need to confirm this. I am a great believer in the saying that "Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten" and it would seem both the Dobs are of a similar quality. I suppose if the Local supplier could sharpen his pencil a little supporting him would be the way to go.
Thanks for the members advice so far
