Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Haha. Not just for TPY lar. 10" quite portable for a dob. Can go various places for sidewalk too.
TPY very bright for truss tubes without shroud. Maybe we can all wear black and stand around it.

Waited 6 weeks for this.
Bring EPs as my collection is pathetic.
I'll buy a pack of black trash bags to 'shroud up'

This one very portable:
14.5" f/4.5. Everything is in there except a piece of cloth shroud.
But I would want to check out this 10" later.

Vincent, prove its portability by bringing it to Toa Payoh tonight! We have enough manpower for a great dob shootout session.

Bro...not my scope, but in my house for safekeeping.
Anyway, I think the public will be amaze by the dob because it's different from a refactor which most would associate a telescope with.
