[White Rabbit]

And wouldnt you know it, it forecast for rain for the next week, bloody typical.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !!:mad2:

Take you that long to find all the bits and pieces hidden in the boxes?? :D

[renormalised]

Say that again!!!. Sometimes I think they've packed some nanobot manufacturing plants in the box my Meade came in. Every time I look there's something else there:)

[mark3d]

congrats! hope those skies clear for you

[CoombellKid]

Congrats on the new scope, and awesome of you to drag the wet weather
down from northern NSW :thumbsup:

[astronut]

Congratulations on the purchase.
So it's you we have to blame for the weather.:rofl:

[ving]

congrats on the scope :)

hopefully alice will stop chasing you soon too...

[Starkler]

Gives you time to practice collimating it ;)

/me runs.

[mick pinner]

have fun.

[White Rabbit]

Yeah, no kidding and I'm going to need that time. I'm trying to collimate it now, hence the reason I'm online. Trying to find a tute.

I made a big mistake from the get go, I replaced all the collimation screws with bobs knobs but i think I should have waited because now it's so far off I fear it will never come back :eyepop:.

I ordered the orion collimating eyepiece with the scope so I'm using that but I'm thinking I should have gottten a laser collimator, might get one tomorrow.

[White Rabbit]

Yip that would be me. Everytime with out fail this happens to me. AAAAARRRRGGGJHHH!!!:doh:

[h0ughy]

well enjoy your new scope, and yes typical weather

Damn, you see now we all have to "follow the White Rabbit" down the path of the LB 12".

Great purchase, such a sexy looking scope will keep you admiring it for a while inside while the weather is cruddy. Its like that Armorall ad on TV. Vacant stares off into the distance.

Cheers
