Things are looking up

Hi

I think i have finally managed to collimate my new scope

and align the finderscope , the scope must have been knocked around by fex ex I think.

Using astro babys guide and watching some you tube videos

the secondary mirror seems more pretty central now and I

can now get all 3 brackets on my primary mirror into the eyepiece

I also seemed to have cracked the finde rscope alignment which seemed a right pain until I realised as I was pulling my eye away from it that the view suddenly cleared, so by keeping my eye an inch from the eyepiece it works fine even if the image is small.

And to top this off ,the forecast is for clear skys tonight, so

fingers crossedhopefully I will get my first real look tonight.
