Even a little breeze or someone walking around might cause some damage..

Thank you Jeff Post Extras:       PierreDesvaux Vendor (Dobsonian Factory) Reged: 11/06/06 Loc: Paris, France Re: Dobson Factory travel dob in Tunisia [Re: jboege]       #5719810 - 03/08/13 02:58 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Yes, we can ship worldwide, including to the USA. We recently sent a 22" scope to Chile. We can built the mount including the optics made by a hight quality French optician, or make only the mount, and you put your own mirror inside. Here is a 12" travel dob in front of VLT (Very large Telescope), in Chile: Edited by PierreDesvaux (03/08/13 02:59 AM) Post Extras:       Doug Reilly professor emeritus Reged: 07/29/08 Re: Dobson Factory travel dob in Tunisia [Re: PierreDesvaux]       #5743297 - 03/19/13 03:52 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Beautiful photos of beautiful telescopes!
