Anyone closeto durham

[hunterz]

Hi are there any shops close to durham that will do the collimation on my telescope I have tried myself but have just made it worse than it was to start with

Was a shop but they folded and that was the only one I was aware of.

Would suggest a local club bu tsearching fedastro I cannot see anything for Durham or County Durham at all.

Neasres appears to be Sunderland:

Sunderland Astronomical Society

E-mail lynnhenderson@blueyonder.co.uk

If they are accessable then suggest an email to the person and ask if they could offer any help and guidance.

A club would be better as someone may be between Sundeland and yourself and will hopefully show you what to actually do.

Check if there is a secion up by you here on SGL.

Ever have the feeling that a half day collimation instruction at say £5 a person with one-one instruction would be a money making enterprise?

Where was that listed??

Couldn't see anything on Fedastro.

Did think the place, county, was big enough and probably dark enough to have one or several clubs.

Makes sense. I just couldn't be bothered to search, have fedastro book marked and so just looked at that.

Better give hunterz his thread back now.
