Dobsonian telescope

Ever since I had first heard of a sonotube telescope, I've wanted to build one. I've since figured out that they are called Dobsonian telescopes - or Dob. All the harder to find that info since I can't spell sonotube... I thought that it was sona tube.

I'd love to use one and play around with taking some pictures of the stars and planets, but I would guess that all light pollution in Ottawa would have an adverse effect on it. I don't know if that would be pointless for around here.

Either way it seems like it would be fun to build. ;-)
