Thanks very much for that link, Peter.
Knew absolutely nothing about John Dobson, the man until I started Googling information about him.
As I said earlier, the more I learn about him, the more fascinated and inspired by him I become.
Have long been fascinated by the intellect of Newton. Now I find that I am inspired by the passion and simple humility of Dobson.
It's led me to regard my Dobson mounted Newtonian in a whole new light.
I'm seeing it as both a shrine and a gateway. A shrine to intellect and passion, and a gateway to perfect beauty.
I tips me lid to Isaac and John!
