Allow me to be the first to inform all the board readers. Indeed Patrick did get a tiny little dob from Orion and it came as promised. He showed up at the Harmon's star party with it - in the original packing cases, unopened. Apparently, he figured with his long years of expertise, he could just slam it all together in a blink of an eye. He opened the two boxes and spent the next 30 minutes reading the instructions and slowly assembling the scope. He could have put 10 C-8s together in that amount of time. But there is a reason for his madness. It looks likes his Tesla does not have a large trunk and a C-8 is too big. But, what is it Patrick? A 4" f8 dob will fit, barely <BIG GRINS>
Sounds a little harsh to me, Joan. I think Patrick got exactly what he wanted, both with smallish dob and the Tesla. Perhaps a touch of the green eyed cat? 73 _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
