Joun and I were talkin a bit about telescopes in game tonight. Anyone else enjoy looking at old light?

Joun, here's the Dob I was talking about, it's $599 now but they have it on sale from time to time. Free shipping now doesn't suck I guess.

That is what we have since if my 4 year old wrecks it I won't be upset. But getting to an 8" Dob like that would definitely be on the path in a few years.

Ooh, that's awesome, might have to get one of those for our little bug once she's older. The Dob is great, but moving it is a hassle and it's far from kid friendly. Also requires a good-sized vehicle, it takes up the back seat of your average small sedan just about perfectly, and won't fit in most trunks. Minivan swallows it fine tho.

This is the one I was looking at for my girl.
