Hi Phil,
Yes my wife has reconciled herself to the scope and even had a turn looking at Saturn. I have had the same hassle with the 6mm EP but I can usually find my object again when I remember that down is up and left is right. I cant believe how balanced the whole Dob is when you are trying to move a mm in any direction. Movement is a little tough when the scope is straight up. I've even ordered a 4mm to give it a go. I am finding using the Barlow a little tough. I've never used a telescope this powerful before and I didn't get any instructions with it, I've being relying on the discussions here on how to do even the simplest things like inserting the EP's.
Regards Simon
