    Received the next day!

    Didn’t have to wait long for stunning views of Jupiter as was delivered the next day. We saw four of its moons and the coloured banding on its surface. I have read that you will never run out of objects to explore with an 8” Dobsonian telescope and this one has very fine optics so I’m very pleased with this purchase. It is on the cusp of transportability but manageable, I think the 10” might be a bit too big unless you have a big car with fold down seats and strong arms. The Telescope arrived collimated but make sure to align the finder scope during the day before using at night.
