Dobsonian Reflector Arrived

The Celestron Dobsonian Reflector Telescope I ordered from Boreal arrived after lunch today.  I decided on the Celestron Firstcope after reading this excellent page from a store in Alberta.  However, the best price I found in Canada was from Boreal Northwest.  I also got the accessory kit and the total shipped to my door was $105.10.

We viewed the moon this evening, but it got cloudy and we had to give up for the night.  I did take a picture of a street light though its lens:
As usual for an astronomical telescope, the image is inverted.

The Russian mammoth sunflowers are in bloom too.  One of them is over 7 feet tall.
