Well I have gone over to the dark side
I have just put a deposit down on the new Meade 16' lightbridge from Bintel in Sydney. Now waiting for the rain
. I will have to do all the little things to it I suspect when I get it, including a shroud.

Good onya houghy, there is nothing like a nice simple Dob for good old fashioned easy plain observational astronomy and searching and fun at starparties- they do free up some of your time dont they

I wouldn't say
dark side .. i'd say you've

You know though dave, you'll have to do more observing now that you're getting an undriven dob!

The man's got a plan.....
