Description

This is a place to discuss using, choosing, modifying, accesorizing, building and observing with big dobsonian telescopes.

This group welcomes discussions of what is unique to using big dobs of any make.

Oh, yeah. We also get to discuss what "big" means.

Polite comparisons of features, performace, usability and seviceablity of big dobs from different manufacturers is specifically *NOT* forbidden. (Note that some brand-specific telescope groups discourage such comparisons. This group does not.)

All postings must be civil. Off topic postings must be humorous, friendly and rare. This group is retro-moderated. Off topic posters will be moderated or deleted. Please read the policy.

Re: How Dirty does an open tube get after 5 years ? You are right Don, Rust is a protential threat. I use stainless steel for all fastening hardware in my scopes and aluminum for any metal components. For Posted - Wed May 23, 2012 12:03 am	Tim Ulmer tsulmer1 Offline Send Email
Re: How Dirty does an open tube get after 5 years ? Most fans have non-rustable bearings, so getting them wet wouldn't be a big issue so long as they were completely dry before applying any electricity to them. Posted - Tue May 22, 2012 9:21 pm	pensack1 Offline Send Email
