New scope

After having a look around on the net, including the 2 reviews here, I bought a 10" Guang Sheng Dobsonian. (upgrading from a 8" Starspanner Dobsonian) Arrived yesterday,very excited, but having fun and games putting it together, as instructions very limited. Had panels facing wrong ways, and had to undo them all, lot trouble putting screws in, until I worked out I was using the Allen key the wrong way around, have also mangled the screws on the handles .... and screws and washers left over! Have spent MANY hours on it but think OK now. For those with limited assembly talents, www.zhumell.com/manuals/Dobsonian_manual.pdf - found this site this am, and has helped me finish off, as scope virtually the same, and good instructions. Looking forward to using it tonight, and skies clear.
