Orion SkyQuest XT10i Dobsonian

Lots of aperture for the money, this nicely designed scope exceeds all of my expectations.

Meade AR-5 OTA (LXD55 version)

Posted by Eric Esworthy 09/22/2004 07:03PM   (Reviews/Telescopes/Refractors)

A "Luck of the draw" achromat? Or just good quality? Maybe both... A nice visit with a new friend!

Wild Card 006 "They're Big & Ugly - Can You Learn to Love Unobstructed Reflectors?"

DOB UPGRADE to a DSO "PUSH-TO"

Unless skilled at Star hopping, finding DSO's can be rather hard with a basic Dob platform. Using a modified mouse on each of the Azimuth & Elevation axis, both can be coordinated together to indicate actual pointing of your Dob in an Astronomy program such as Skyglobe.
