In answer to an earlier point about left/righthanded dobs - I don't think there is a true reason. Obsession started the trend and it has kind of stuck. It actually makes more sense in Australia, as much of the time is spent looking North, so the scope tracks away from the ladder making it safer.

It took me while to get used to initially, but now it feels more comfortable than t'other way.
