Thank you for your advice !
I will put it together using all the parts that came with it. I think I saw a thread somewhere on how to align - collimate the mirrors. It looks like very delicate operation, but I think i can do it.
Also making a dobsonian mount out of 20 mm plywood should be quite easy operation because it looks like all the major parts can be cut on the water-jet cutter which I use on daily basis at work...
Erick thanks for pointing out economic feasibility of the project, and as far as the eyepieces go they are 0.96" or 24.38 mm and they are 22,20 and 12.5 mm focal lengths. I'm sure I have seen 6 mm focal length piece somewhere in the box...
Do I need any other eye-pieces ?
I should be able to make entire mount for less than $50
How do I measure the height of the focuser ?
I guess it has to be measured from the tube to the top of it, but fully extended or fully collapsed ? I'm asking just for future reference, just in case I decide that it is worth improving.
Btw. I tried posting a picture of the primary mirror still in its box but it didn't work out..
Thank you once again !
