hmm...that gives a bit of relief and I also did an initial test of collimation by removing the EP and just looking into the focusser and I can see my eye and the small dot on the primary mirror, all in the center so I think my scope is well collimated....but will wait to receive my instruction manual from the vendor as he forgot to put them when he sent me my package.

Last night, at 0400hrs the cloudy weather in adelaid had cleared off, i got excited and got stuff ready , took the scope out....man its heavy !!! and what do i see, clouds back all over the place....and this happened within 5-10mins.....i waited patiently outside, it was 0500hrs and the clouds were in place....argggghhh.... came back inside and slept...hopefully tonight will be a clear night in Adelaide....atleast wanna see the moon....

thanks
