Almost month ago I ordered on Ebay book a by Kriege and Berry “The Dobsonian Telescope”, and today Russian Snail Mail finally delivered that package.
I was impressed by size of the tome — I expected it to be twice thinner. I decided to by this book after skimming through low-quality pirated e-book (yet another proof that pirated content is not an absolute evil), but I paid no attention to total page number (and of course, I couldn’t know that book is printed on very good paper).
Surprisingly, this “second-hand” book smells of fresh-printed paper 🙂
I bought this book for reason: I’m going to rebuild my “new” dob from scratch, using only mirrors, mirror cell and some parts of spider. While it has “mere” 10″ mirror, I’m going to use truss design for sake of mobility, as I have no car and will move telescope from room to balcony and back.
