Dobsonian, ds227

Today is a special day because it's the last day of getting up for work, until September. Now I'll get up for other reasons like gardening, or perhaps I'll get up to view a celestial event! I picked up my first scope! I'm lucky to be the summer custodian of a 200 mm (8 in.) f6 SkyWatcher Dobsonian with 50 mm finder and a couple of eyepieces. Can't wait to try it out, after waiting so many years.

 

It was really tricky to take a shot down the tube, all kinds of weird reflections, plus i'd focus and then it would be blurry!
