Sure Randy, as I mentioned before, my undergraduate degree, which is a B.S. in Chemistry, was originally intended to be pre-astronomy, but turned into pre-law. Viewing conditions in the city aren't that great and I don't have much time, but I still observe on occasion.

I'll add that I wonder how many guys seeing the thread title will be curious why you want to try an 8" sub, but'll take a look to read how the Dobsonian sounds.
