Thanks guys
Great information. Yes, I'm starting with the 12' Dob, understand about the size but can't resist a bargain - I will grow into the telescope.
Have been a regular visitor to our local telescope -Gilgandra Observatory and it is awesome, just love it.
Ordered a laser collimator (?) with the scope ( I read these posts and pick up all sorts of information)
Getting binoculars as well (hope to attach to my camera tripod)
Have bought the Astronomy 2005, and both the S&S and S& T magazines
Need a red LED torch - are these available in Dick Smith?
The 5 diamonds - is this the 5 sisters/pleiades?
One more quesstion
What is the fan for in the Dob?
