removed Dob for repair

Thanks to Chris, Ian and I took a look at the 12½" Dobsonian telescope he had made and donated to the DDO.

I pointed out the issues I had encountered with it as well as some bits that had been damaged. Ian thought it best to take home to his workshop. I agreed. At last, this is being properly dealt with.

We wheeled it from the big dome to the parking lot. And stuffed it in Sue's vehicle. Hopefully she won't notice...

Subtext to this is sad. I pointed out the issues with the telescope back in August after partly fixing then using the 'scope at a public night. I had been stonewalled. They had done nothing. Six months. What a stupid waste.
