First Scope

Hi to all,

This is my first post, after reading much on this forum and other places i bought my self a Dob from BTOW (Sky-watcher 8") i did look at andrews but as i had to get it sent to me it was $130 cheaper, well after two weeks of stuffing around i finaly got my scope, not bad after being told a 24 hour delivery time..

I hope to test it out tonight because i had so much hassel getting the scope the shop gave me a barlows lens and another eyepiece extra, the extra leyepiece is flossel 17 and i must say this looks and feels like a better quality then the two that came with the scope not sure of what they are but they say super 10 and super 25 on the boxes, one does say k25.

I also bought some filters 4 coloured ones, think i will by from andrews in future.

I live about 550km east from perth so it gets pretty dark out here thats one of the reasons i bought the scope i am hoping to use it for deep space watching and some planets aswell.
