Yippee ! The 12 inch Dobsonians have arrived !

Shetland Astronomical Society now has two new identical 12 inch Dobsonian telescopes with motorised Goto systems. These are Sky Watcher Flex Tube telescopes from the company Optical Vision. Members can arrange to borrow one of these for home observing. The telescopes will also be used for SAS star parties and other events.
