Goodness, I wasn't expecting the word "Dobsonian" to show up here.

I've been an amateur astronomer on and off for a long, long time now. Mostly "off" in the last year or so due to New England winter and work.

I'll be taking a short vacation in Arizona in June, and I'll be bringing my 4.5" short-focus reflector along. Really, really looking forward to that. My "big" scope is a commercial 6" dob.
