Hi,
I am still waiting for my Sky-Watcher 12" Flexitube Dobsonian to arrive, but I want to "hit the ground running" and so I have a few questions on assembly.
You may wish to refer to the following manual:
http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/s...b-120508V3.pdf
I have been told that the edges of the timber that butt up to other pieces are bare timber.
1. Should paint these edges with sealer?
2. Since the base is not designed to be disassembled once assembled, should I glue the base together?
3. If I glue the base, what glue should I use? Construction adhesive or Epoxy?
4. Are there any other modifications I should consider at this early stage of the hobby?
An Argo Navis would be nice but a bit out of my price range at the moment.
Thanks for your advice.
