First observation with Al Dob

I got focuser bush, so last night I made first observations with my dob. Moon was almost full, so the only available targets was Moon and Jupiter.

As dob has no finder yet, I watched Jupter only with rather small magnifications (max 120, with NPZ’s 10mm Plössl). I watched moon with magnification 200 (SW UWA 6mm), and given poor mount and turbulence, I enjoyed the view. Moon was so bright that moon filter didn’t help; perhaps, I should use sunglasses. 🙂

My next plan is building new mount, then (much later) building new truss tube. I will get 8×50 finder within two weeks.
