Obsession 18" Ultra Compact (UC) - (Part 2)

[@andrevv156]

Very nice :) The only thing I am concerned is the primary mirror. It seems to be not enough protected from stratches, etc.

[@AlanWinterboy]

Is that from your experience or speculation? Serious question.

[@richarddavis9362]

He never mentions collimation. Is it collimated after he set it up? IF so, does it keep collimation?

[@groutdoctor]

Richard, Are you serious? I’ve owned an Obsession. You’re, well, … unaware. Unaware of the quality.

[@richarddavis9362]

@@groutdoctor Umm... gee, just asking a question. Don't get all bent out of shape.

[@ebenezergarbrah5255]

No collimation problems?

[@paulcozens2278]

Collimation takes about two minutes.

[@richarddavis9362]

So you have to collimate it EVERY TIME?

[@whydidyouresign]

It truly is the lord of the flies.

You forgot to put the sock back on the secondary mirror! But great video!

[@ToddHurney]

That mirror is way too exposed to scratches and damage from foreign debris! Otherwise, I would love to have one as soon as I rob a bank!

[@sl9guitar]

there has to be a cheaper way to make mirrors.. these things are like 75% of the cost!

[@cryptojihadi265]

There is, and they're not as good You can get an Orion 16" with goto for 3800, but the mirror obviously won't be as good. You get what you're willing to pay for.

nice telescope, except its 7000 bucks! holy cow! i would be much happier buying a new car for a cheaper not so compact DOB. Good video though!
