Dobsonian Telescope
A Dobsonian telescope is an altazimuth mount, altazimuth-mounted Newtonian telescope design popularized by John Dobson (amateur astronomer), John Dobson in 1965 and credited with vastly increasing the size of telescopes available to amateur astronomy, amateur astronomers. Dobson's telescopes featured a simplified mechanical design that was easy to manufacture from readily available components to create a large, portable, low-cost telescope. The design is optimized for observing faint deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies. This type of observation requires a large Objective (optics), objective diameter (i.e. Optical telescope#Light-gathering power, light-gathering power) of relatively short focal length and portability for travel to less light pollution, light-polluted locations. Dobsonians are intended to be what is commonly called a "light bucket". Operating at low magnification, the design therefore omits features found in other amateur telescopes such as Equatorial moun ...

Dob (toponym)
{{unreferenced, date=March 2016 Dob is a Slovene toponym, found in Slovenia, Austria and Italy. It derives from a Proto-Slavic word dǫbъ (oak). The word dob is today used exclusively for Quercus robur (Slovene: ''dob''), as other oak species have progressively taken other names. Toponyms having their root in the word "dob" are sometimes hard to distinguish from other similar Slovene words —— particularly dober, and dobra ( English: ''good''), which can be used to refer to many other types of places.

Date Of Birth (band)
Date of Birth (デイト・オブ・バース; abbreviated to DOB) was a Japanese pop rock/indietronica band formed in Fukuoka in 1985, consisting of Norico (vocals) and brothers Isao Shigeto (guitar, keyboard), Susumu Shigeto (drums, percussion), and Kenichi "Ken-1" Shigeto (music, visual direction). Originating from Mind Control, a Western-influenced new wave band formed in 1982, Date of Birth crossed over multiple genres, including psychedelic pop, ''Shibuya-kei'', and jungle. The band had a 3D mascot created by Kenichi, Dob-kun, who starred in his own video game in 1999. Though Date of Birth was reasonably popular in Japan and parts of Europe in the 1990s, there has been no new activity from the band since their last compilation album in 2006. History Mind Control was formed in 1982 by Isao, Susumu, and Norico. Inspired by American music of the 1960s and 1970s, Isao and Susumu had been making music for around a decade, and formed Mind Control after meeting Norico, who was i ...

Dob-dob
A dob-dob ( or in some sources ''ldab ldob'') is a member of a type of Tibetan Buddhist monk fraternity that existed in Gelug monasteries in Tibet such as Sera Monastery and are reported to still exist in Gelug monasteries today, although possibly in a somewhat altered form. The status of dob-dobs tended to be somewhat ambiguous and they were generally the less academic monks who had an interest in sports, fighting and other 'worldly' matters. Disruptive influences or peacemakers? Dob-dobs sometimes acted as self-appointed policemen in the monasteries. Geshe Lama Konchog for example recalled being beaten by his dob-dob uncle in Sera for being over-eager to study and take Tantric initiations. Dob-dobs were often seen as potential trouble-makers with Sir Charles Alfred Bell describing in his portrait of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama how dob-dobs were foremost amongst monks at large religious ceremonies who were "bursting with superfluous energy, and spoiling for a fight". However, dob- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
