This is embarrassing to admit - but I never got much further than this. Right now I'd just like to see something in focus!
I did clean the mirror (very carefully and according to a guide I think I found here) and managed to collimate but since failing to get an image put it aside and didn't revisit.
Can someone hold my hand getting an image, perhaps of the moon tonight?! Moon should be visible to the east around 10:30pm I believe.
One fear is that there could be something wrong with the equipment but I'd be betting it is just me.
Here's my setup using the wide angle lens.
Meade 10” LightBridge Truss Tube Dobsonian
QX 26mm wide angle eyepiece
I assume the process is as simple as:
1. put the 26mm eyepiece fully into the dobsonian draw tube
2. point the telescope so that the spotter scope crosshairs fall on the moon
3. look through the eye piece - a blurry moon should be visible
4. use the focus knobs to bring it into focus
