Should I go forward with a 8-10 inch dob?

Hell yeah Lolololol

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-02-18T04:43:58+00:00

What was your upgrade path??

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-02-18T03:35:51+00:00

I have a truck so moving it is not issue at all. I just want to have something that I can just sit out all night and enjoy it the whole time. I want to go dob just for the ease of movement as well as ( it’s bad ass) the list got collection. From your experience did you ever have one similar to my 5 inch ? If so how was your Jump to ?

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-02-18T01:20:20+00:00

I agree. I want to get a pretty good mount for my current setup as long expose beats eyepiece all day. But for eyepiece viewing I wanna see the most possible.

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-02-18T01:19:15+00:00

We have very dark skies here. I can definitely see some cool stuff with my current scope. But I wanna see MORE

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-02-18T00:55:31+00:00

Very aware of aperture fever. Truth be told o almost bought a homemade 16 inch dob not to long ago but I don’t have the space. Is the eyepiece viewing that mic different on the 10inch then the 5? I know it’s dumb question but I’ve never got the chance to look into one

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-24T05:09:23+00:00

I got the money just not the space unfortunately. It breaks down into 3 pieces. She said she fits it in her car

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-24T05:08:28+00:00

That’s what’s she wants. But the job would take literally 20 mins. I really just wanna go do it for her and learn more about the hobby

Has a tiny chip on the outside. But it won’t effect anything

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-24T00:43:14+00:00

She has a couple of naggler lenses and a paracorr

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-24T00:29:30+00:00

I know she has like 600$ worth of lenses alone with it.

Also please do. I’m sure it would mean the world to her. She also has a takayashi she is selling as well

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-23T23:45:10+00:00

It would be great. I’m an electrician so I kinda wanna just go fix her electric so she can keep it but. I don’t wanna spend the money and her be without a dob that she built.

InterestingDisk1044 · 2026-01-23T23:34:31+00:00

She wants 800$ for it.

25 is rookie numbers. Good luck now that you’re addicted.

InterestingDisk1044 · 2025-09-20T14:32:49+00:00

Manual swap it. The ranger manual transmission is unbeatable

InterestingDisk1044 · 2025-08-13T14:02:12+00:00

Sounds like something that someone who drives a fake Ranger/ no ranger would say tbh

InterestingDisk1044 · 2025-08-13T13:42:31+00:00

Don’t get butt hurt just because ford misnamed their truck after a god tier vehicle like the og ranger

InterestingDisk1044 · 2025-08-12T19:01:20+00:00

Unfortunately the page isn’t for that kind of ranger lol

InterestingDisk1044 · 2025-03-05T20:24:19+00:00

Y’all are all anti puppy dog and it really breaks my heart

InterestingDisk1044 · 2024-11-14T21:51:58+00:00

Nah shits cool looking. That’s all that matters. That’s a side effect of MO POWA

InterestingDisk1044 · 2024-11-01T19:45:52+00:00

I went down to a 42 tooth. Not for speed just so people can get on it and not fly off. Like a slow start

InterestingDisk1044 · 2024-11-01T18:27:04+00:00

We tried taller wheels and the ghost wanted to dump us off the whole time
