I haven't had any experience with Dobsonian's partly because of their price, my age and also because I haven't found one with a telescope actually in it.
I found a great video of Extrasolar planets:

I am collecting Data from two websites to make a list of potentially Habitable/Potentially habitable moon/may form to be Habitable Exoplanets.
Potentially Habitable: Gliese 581 c/d Gas Giants with Potentially Habitable Moons: 55 Cancri f HD 28185 b(this Planet may not exist) HD 69830 d( may lie inside Habitable zone) HD 20367 b HD 12661 b HD 40979 b Stars with Debris Discs which may indicate planets in the Habitable zone HD 98800(this is a Double Double Star)(the Habitability of it depends on the type of Star-their type is unknown) The Planet Mentioned here
I will look for more later.

Just wanted to share that I received my new telescope!
On the left is my old telescope, on the right is my new, awesome telescope!
I've been viewing M42 (Orion Nebula) a lot, along with Saturn. I'm still getting used to it's massive size (height is a little over 60 inches, or about 1.5 meters, and weight is 70 pounds, or about 32 kilograms). I also need to learn how to use the computer that came with it. I'll post some photos of deep sky objects once I get more used to the telescope!
I am now making the list in the last post into a Excel Spreadsheet (2004). I will put all the Extrasolar Planets I can find information (distance)of into it. PM me if you want a copy when I'm done!
and gratz Notefolds! ¦-)

Mars, That's what I used for my previous post It's very good, there are a few flaws, but i'm using it for my Excel Planet Database
It doesn't slow this Computer down alot, although it does make the Laptop make noises like a Hairdrier when I have 2 other Pages up
P.S Mars, if you put it on your Computer click on file at the top to take pictures or Movies

I thought you used that program
earlier for that picture. Although,
I have used Celestia before, but my
Windows XP can't take its high performance right now...
I am using a few-year-old Widows XP, But it works fine If anybody want's me to take a Picture of anything on Celestia, I can (although I can't do Nebula Or Galaxies well... yet )
