Ptkacik's Review of Meade 16in. LightBridge f/4.5 Truss-Tube Dobsonian Telescope

This is one big Dob. Don't underestimate the size and weight.

Mine didn't perform well out of the box but a friend helped me collimate it this evening and I've never seen that much detail on the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. Not great seeing but there were moments that made it worth it.

Azimuth motion is smooth but the altitude is pretty sticky. A 9mm eye piece may be as high powered as you'll want to go.

Good luck,
Peter
