Hello again and thanks for the warm welcome and replies.
It has been interesting studying your replies and I was humbled by your words of wisdom. I can see that most of the things listed are geared to making your viewing session more comfortable. This was suprising but when I thought about it, it made a lot of sense.
My ideas haved changed a lot since reading your posts and I think the common points that you have listed are not by coincidence. I will be sure to add them to my list. The finders I'm not so sure about which one though and I think I'll use your advice and research them a little more. The ones listed are they easy to use for beginners or do they reqiure some mastering?
Allen where do you find the head torches as I haven't found any online? They would be a good buy as I'm sure if I get a normal one I'll lose it in the dark.
Just downloaded Stellarium so I think I'll go play after posting this reply.
About "Pimping the ride" vaztr I'm all for it too. Pin stripes and chrome dust covers oh yeah!
In fact just chrome it all, I'm sure I'll turn heads then. Tell me how the zoom goes as I was toying with this idea too. Does anyone have experience with using one in a dob?
Thanks again for the replies
