36" Dobsonian mount from Orion for only $$$$. They also have 40" & 50" models. Be sure and let me know when it will be delivered and I will help you set it up. :-)

Willie,

Get two for a binocular set up. Probably not the 50" though, too big.

Willie,

 

  Just remember this one safety precaution when using this scope...

 

Don't point a Monster Dob at the sun! Just pointing this at the sun can instantly damage eyepieces and cause irreversible eye damage and burns. Use extreme caution leaving it uncovered during daylight. Concentrated sunlight from this much aperture can damage the telescope or set its surroundings on fire!

 

  It can set your yard, trees and house on fire now that is a awesome telescope...

 

  I can attest to this one... I melted my spotting scope a month ago while solar observing the cap fell off the spotter scope and then humm I could smell smoke... burned a almost pinky size hole in the spotter scope.
