If your Large Dob, Newt. or Truss dob telescope was in your auto, and you were going to your favorite observing site, more than likely you ran over a few Pot holes along the way, for that reason, you want to make sure your mirrors in your scope are aligned before you start to Stargaze. Orion makes a great Laser collimator model # 5681 for your scope and better yet, you can align the mirrors by yourself. www.OrionTelescopes.com
Getting here Sunday morning about 1000 as you can see is not early enough. There is already a line of about a hundred cars or so. But the wait is very pleasant as you get to meet some really nice people...
