Hi all,
just to make everyone aware that the Dob base has been collected from Telescope House with a new base and so everything is up and running again.
I was told that we have to put a sheet down as to not put the Dob directly onto grass :-? (which it hasn't been since i've had it, as the top section of garden is decking) and it should be OK, no doubt next it will be ' don't take it out in the dark or point it at small bright objects'. :roll:
Anyway if any member of the society is interested in using the Dob over a period of time, do not hesitate to contact me.
