Review of New Telescopes

 I am going to be evaluating based on reviews and communications I have with the builders on the following builders to pick one to build for me a 22 inch dob.  I love my 17.5 inch and I have put a lot of work into making that dob work for me and I'll keep using it. However, I want to push my observing to the next level and to do that I need a larger dob.  

The increase will be around .45 to .47 if I have done my math right, so not a huge increase but for some of the more fainter items I am getting into, that can make or break what I see. So far I have narrowed my search to these builders: 

a 22" New Moon Telescopes; A Waite Renegade 22" telescope; an Obsession 22" UC, and a 22" DocTelescope.  


I will be evaluating each here but will post images of them here in the blog. Look for me to update my post as I learn more about the pros and cons of each builder.  


New Moon 22" Dob: 






I'm not sure if Ryan at New Moon is still doing the UC concept in picture two, but that is the one I would be most interested in. Love this buld! 


Waite Renegade 20" or 22" Dob










Love the look and design of this one.  


DocTelescopes (Made in Italy): 



I am VERY intrigued an interested in learning more about this scope. I really like it! 


Obsession 22" UC Telescope







I will share what I learn as I research and communicate with each builder. I will then share my decision and why I made the decision I made. 

I'm adding a couple more to the list to look at:
