Yeah..I use Jif to scrub...haha

BTW, they have collected USD$5200 so far to help out Peter Smitka.

I wonder if one of our local astro shop close down, will we go donating money and help him out.

No wonder there were originally a few 'hairlines' on it! :lol: But no problem for me. :) I would agree with Vincent that the Astro Sky has a good price point and quality standard between the premium dobs and the mass-produced dobs.
