So, hopefully, i will be able to post a nice pic of my collimation attempt tomorrow sometime (Taking the nephew to dreamworld tomorrow, so im not sure what time ill be able to post).
I need to get myself some cleaning fluid for my eyepieces. I gave the primary a wash the other week. It's so tempting to grab a cloth and polish it to death but I resisted that urge and followed the method in Astronomy Hacks. I didn't do the secondary. Seems like you'll have some great views tonight.
