Need to collimate my scope

[furrysocks2]

I built my own telescope - secondary is mounted on piece of wood, in turn on a steel ruler. I will need to move the secondary anyway, as I have a 2" focuser to install.

But this is what a de-focussed star looked like last night - more or less...

Could do with a tweak, perhaps.

At least you are using half the aperture

Less, you should see the state of the primary coating...

Haha! Yup. 

I've moved the secondary and installed the focuser now. Should have a spare battery for the laser in the fridge.
