Already done my Christmas shopping and in the process may have condemned Melbourne and co to years of nonstop cloud. (oh wait, that's our average climatic normals already)
Picked up this 8" dob on the weekend from Wren (Greenswale), but to be honest I had no less than 2 opportunities to try it since then, but 2am finishes at work put that idea in the coffin.
Custom built, hand figured mirrors, fully flocked (it is super pitch black in that tube!), ready to go....but not before christmas
Got it basically to fill the middle ground between my 120st and the 12" dob, with the aim of having something that's easy to set up, doesn't weigh much but still large enough to haul in the faint fuzzies during those times when I don't feel like or is impractical to set up the 12 incher.
