Dobson, The Unknown last night after a long wait here is a serene evening Without too much wind, the moon rising in the second half of the night and a must for me, the finish of my new station precise equatorial mount, but above all try for the first time Dobson of my own.
In recent months I have often thought of observing the deep sky with instruments of a certain diameter, but every time I fought against high costs and the inability to mount these optical tubes on my EQ6 with LXD750 only now I can afford some weights. But luckily for me
SkyWatcher thought of me giving me an instrument of 12 inches (305 mm) with a reasonable cost and above all usable everywhere.
Ever since I started to make astronomy my intent was to discover and learn But he was later came the desire to show other people what was good for observing the sky and my eyes immediately went on the tools to bring it about my intent, a photographic use.
But this attempt caused me to lose a bit of sight visual observation that I have slowly rediscovered by astronomical evenings (
something is cooking on the subject, expect news soon ) I decided to take the way of the pure visual observation .
So here we come to my desire to Dobosn the Skywatcher has recently introduced a new line of motorized tools dobosn. The Dobsonian for those who do not know what we are talking about is a tube frame on a Newton altazimuth simple, usually wooden, which until now was only manually, but now the SW Motorized this simple frame to keep the objects in the eyepiece no longer needed this to intervene manualmente.Il Dobson is a tool usually large, in fact born with the intent to observe deep sky objects successfully.
My aim is just to have a quick tool to assemble and ready in a few minutes to observe the deep sky.
Last night was my first outing then don this tool, which continue olltre knowledge of the new LXD750.
I observed several deep sky objects drawing great satisfaction To soon publish a pretty detailed review ..
For now, here's a few pics between Dobson and LXD750.
