Hi
I have ordered the GTi 150P as a first scope for better or worse ... It seems an 8" DOB is the way to go but I figured I might be better served at this stage by a PHD unit (press here dummy) and a more portable unit as I usually do outback camping trips in the Australian winter.
Question is apart from taping the eyepiece and making a shroud I would be very grateful for any advice on what I should get or do to make the most of this unit and viewing our amazing skies.
Thanks Alex
