A huge thanks goes out to Jeremy, the mirrors were out of alignment, as well as the 20mm eyepiece rattled, and had a missing piece from it. Jeremy collimated the secondary and primary mirror, and lent us a 10mm eyepiece.


We had about 30 minutes of clear sky tonight and were able to see the moon as clear as a crystal, my little girl was squealing with delight, she kept pushing us out the way to look through her scope. She also was quite firm in that she wanted to line up the moon with "her finderscope".


We walked the scope across the road to elderly neighbours, whom couldn't believe how clearly and with so much detail they were able to see the moon. And again my daughter wanted to line up the scope (I was pushed out the way).

Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions.


Cheers
