GS Dob FAQ

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Good work Geoff !
I will have a look at what you put together before I do a write-up
to avoid any repetition.
Also to see what mintsauce comes up with.
The world of GSO Dobs is about to get a whole lot better, with the sub $1000 12"
I would love to see more on the 12" in these forums.

Any news on this? Geoff? Ian?

nag nag nag

Ok I might be a little quieter on the forums for a bit and see if i can get it done.

[iceman (Mike)]

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Hi Geoff
PM me when you have done your bit & I will see what I have to add

Don't laugh, but I have a 6" Guan Sheng Dob badged as the Celestron Starhopper, and I think it's just great!!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

This is a great idea
Hi all, have been away and the Dob has arrived and now I need some detailed instructions on how to put my 12" Dob together. Someone suggested the Orion XT-8 instructions, anyone know where to find them?

[Thiink]

I found this link which is a PDF of instructions for the XT6 and XT8, I dont know if it is going to be the same for bigger size GSO though?

Might keep it handy I think, looks good.
