Thumbs up Exicted owner of a DOB

Got the dob yesterday and so much fun sorting it all out, the OTA came all set up from the shop, just had to put the mount together, which was simple.

Had fun that night going through the sky, but sore neck and back.

Now just have to wait for the weather to clear and the night air to warm up, v.cold last night all that time in the cold.


cheer
