Welcome to MyDob.co.uk

MyDob.co.uk is the online dobsonian telescope community. Everyone is welcome from the experienced dobsonian user to the beginner who is looking for their first dob.

Dobsonian Telescopes

The Dobsonian Telescope is the choice of many amateur astronomers because of its large aperture, portability and cost.

The large aperture design makes the dobsonian ideal for viewing deep sky objects such as star clusters, galaxies and nebulas.

Portability is important for many as dedicated observing locations in most back gardens are not possible. It also makes it possible to move the telescope to darker light unpolluted areas.

Building your first dobsonian, what size?
When building you first dobsonian telescope it is easy to get carried away with size. Mvsopen is looking for advice on how big to go. One piece of advice would be to make sure you can fit it through the workshop door ;-)

Commet Holmes

commet holmesWorth the wait here in the Uk. Last night for the first cloudless sky (almost) in ages and the finest comet since Hale-Bopp. What a fuzzball. Not to mention the magnitude completely altering the appearance of Perseus.
