Customer Review: Meade LightBridge Dobsonian
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased the Meade LightBridge (8" Dobsonian) and have used it, albeit, sporadically, as the sky has been so overcast here in New England since early December, 2007. The ease of use is great. Size and portability very good, considering the mount type (Dob). Realize that you'll need other eye pieces for different magnifications. We purchased the Meade kit of 6 eye pieces with a barlow and some filters in a hard shell case..which was the way to go. All in all, we're pretty happy with this telescope. Finding Saturn is easy and it looks great with the additonal eye pieces we bought to complement the original purchase. This scope can realistically obtain magnifications up to about 400x. We had a little trouble with the focuser (Crayford style 2") but resolved it quickly with a call to Meade for technical assistance. I will post again later after we've had more experience with the product. Do keep in mind that this scope does not come with a computerized finder so you'll need to do some homework in order to find objects in the night sky. A lot of telescope for the money!
