This is a quick interview I did with Roxanne. She is very active member of our observatory and does a great deal of scientific research for various outlets.
Wonderful interview. I had the pleasure of viewing through a nearly identical New Moon telescope at last year's Idaho Star Party. The fellow in the next campsite was happy to share this great telescope. PS...not much dew here in the high deserts and very low Bortle numbers.
Just bought a Dob last sunday. First light a few hours ago. Never used or even saw one before my Skywatcher 10" synscan. I've, of course imaged and observed the moon over my 60 years of astro. I was blown away by the detail! Holy crap! One of my first thoughts, was putting a dew heater on the eye piece, haha.. this was quite timely😊
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light. Well, mr Sting and the Police, im sure she will at a star party as its the polite thing to do ;) Another great video, ty both
Thanks Ben. The only time I ever looked thru a Dob was in IL as a star party and it was a 26" and WOW unbelievable experience! Also it needed a 6-10 ft ladder to get to the EP... This brought back that memory!

Thanks for sharing the bigger things get the harder it seams to be to manage dew.

That is a proper telescope
Love a Dobson - and as Roxanne said: Seeing with your own eyes is just ... so amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!

Nice to see the Star Party, great video! Greetings from Poland
Thank you very much!
Looking well Ben. Hope you're feeling how you look. 👍
Love the NexusDSC.
Does Roxanne have a channel? I want to see more about her dob.
She does now however I could revisit her dob in more detail next year.
Another good informative interview
