Well guys,Sounds like you could have been camping here at my home town,the people are the same all over these days.Your best bet is private property with a gate that locks,but watch out for the horses and cattle.Anyway,it was like Christmas at my house today.I work 3rd.shift at the postal service and got up at noon and found that my new telescope had arrived and was sitting on my back deck,Iassembled it and did all the checks on it and trained the drive.Then I went out to my work shop in the back yard and finally finished my new dobsonian 6" telescope.This was my first dob to build and I could'nt be happier with the results.Everything worked out great mostly from the help from all you great folks at astromart.I even bought my mirrors,spider and diagonal holder from one of our auctions.The best astronomy decision I ever made was joining this forum of good people.I cant wait till my next project begins,hopefully a 10" dob.Thanks, Darrell Hensley

2 new scopes in one day! Now that's a treat.

So, what was the scope that you bought? What's the focal ratio of your 6"?
