We hooked it to a battery and could aim it with the remote. We did not figure out how to get the computer aiming automatically yet. We will work on that next time.Vincent Catehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06502618776820144289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672787581660247094.post-78982466459501123882017-08-03T19:03:00.001-07:002017-08-03T19:03:43.370-07:00Putting together our new telescope<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our Orion 14-inch Dobsonian telescope came in several boxes. Amoni and I put it together Aug 3, 2017. It is taller than his head but his hands can reach higher.<br />
