Thanks Ken.

I was hoping someone would say something like that. I overdo, overthink, overworry...

I thought collimation would be something I'm good at as I'm pretty good with my hands but I wasn't with the dob I had before. I found it took a fair amount of practice before a connection was made between my brain and my eyes. I struggled away and literally like a switch was turned on it all just clicked and became easy. And that was just basic indoor collimating not star testing. Because SCT's are mostly done with stars in the dark I have a new learning curve to overcome but am not getting disheartened as I did with my dob at one stage because I know it's gonna 'click'.

And she does give beautiful views.
