Hi,
I'm new to all this and now doing my research on all things related to a 10" dob. I have a tonne of queries to start with:
1. How useful is the 9 x 50 finderscope found on dobs this size or should I go straight for the Telrad.
2. how does the telrad mount on the scope and do u leave the 9 x 50 on?
3. I've read everything about the 2: Crayford focuser, how bigger difference is there between that and the standard rack and pinion focuser in terms of smoothness etc.
4. what the hell is flocking paper and what is it used for.
5. I keep reading about terms like no slop or backlash - is that in reference to the focuser?
Apologies if these have been answered 50 zillion times. I'm new to this and just recently joined a club and keen on opinions etc.
Thanks again.
