G'day Iceman !
You know of me from your GA rtcw playing days.
Im sure that my nickname here wont leave any doubt as to my identity
I have been into astronomy for about a year and half now, and having the luxury of not having someone to tell me how to spend my pay I have collected the following :
GSO 250mm f5 dobsonian ,just like yours iceman and with the following enhancements:
: Orion RACI 9x50mm finderscope
: tube fully flocked (well almost) with adhesive black velvet from Bunnings.
: teflon azimuth pads and the plastic milk bottle washer trick to improve the azimuth motion.
Digital setting circles composed of encoder kit from Kendrik USA, David Ek decoder box
