8" coll dob

Hi Orestis,
I have the 8" coll dob and I love it....They do keep collimation very well. I live 4km from Brisbane (lots of light pollution) and have not bothered with a light shroud as the bottom tube is quite long and stray light doesn't seem to be a problem. I have 3 children (10-14) and have no trouble letting them run rampant with it, sure glad I didn't get a 'scope on a tripod!!!?? My dob travels regulary to various sites and is easy to get in and out of my car and mostly I just plonk it down and observe...no collimation (3 children remember). I have added a telrad and a right angle finder.
I love my dob (and my family) buy one and have fun
Phill
