The ObDob as its affectionately known is a 25″ Obsession Dobsonian Reflector. This telescope has stolen the show at virtually every event its ever attended. This beauty has enabled me to to peer far deeper than most have been allowed to go. This telescope, combined with some of the darkest skies on Earth is like getting a Porsche on the Autobahn.
Pictured here is me and the ObDob on a south facing ridge at 9400′ in Utah’s Uinta Mountains. Note the constellation Taurus rising prominently behind me. Skies in that area are in the mag 7 range. Here, on a moonless night, the Milky Way stretches from horizon to horizon.
