Teeters 10" Dob first lite

Got a chance to try out my 10" F/7.5 Teeters Dob, first object the moon.
I have to say the Teeters motions seems as smooth as the Starmaster and Obsession Dobs, it takes just a little longer for the scope to damp out than faster scopes due to it's longer FL. Looking at the moon at lower powers below 100x was pretty nice, with good contrast, but at powers from 300x to 650x the image would mush into focus, thanks to a full thickness mirror and fast dropping temps!

Later tonite i will try Saturn and few d/s objects...

Chas,
Maybe you need to install a cooling fan to help wit that. Check out my pictures for an easy solution.
