Dobs

Hi,

I have been looking around the web finding varies bits and pieces (tube,
mirrors etc..) to build my own 10' telescope and pricing it all up. While I
was looking for my components I came across this page

http://telescope-service.com/dobsoni...art.html#gs880

This is a 10' F5 dobs telescope with a choice of BK-7 or Suprax mirrors. The
price of this is all for £460 (BK-7) or £560 (Suprax). This seems quite a
good deal.

As I am new to the scene I would be greatful is someone could tell me if I
am going to waste my money on such a purchase or is there better/similar
products out there which I have missed.

Thanks
Howard

Hi

I bought an 8' Dob from telescope-service around 2 years ago, I can't speak
too highly of them , Wolfi, the owner is very friendly and knowedgeable, the
Dobs are Orion XT clones (ie. very good scopes), the scope arrived from
Stutgart (?) in a couple of days. For the money, you won't get much (any)
better in this country!
