4.5 Iinch Dob sold!

Hi Botok,

Thanks for your reply and your interest in my home made dobsonian. Sorry to inform you that this Dob has been sold to my brother for 1000 ringgit. Initially I wanted make this scope to sell at under 1000 ringgit just to test the market

We tested it last few nights, and Jupiter came out very bright with a 3 times barlow we are able see Jupiter's belt clearly. M6 and M7 in scopio was spectacular.

This scope is easy to setup. The scope is very light you can carry it with both hands, but the mount is a little too big to transport in a Proton car's boot. Have to be put in the back seat.

I will make another few like this again, shortly.

Thanks

Mickath
