Congratulations DSB,
Just a question, re the discount for IIS members, can you walk into the store and claim that or do you have to order it online first?
Try this guide on the projects and articles section here on IIS

re the collimation.
I would be careful, but the return beam is designed to be looked at from the SIDE of the Laser collimator which is what its designed for, so I suggest this is safe to do so. However, be careful looking directly at it. (ie without it being inserted into the Telescope.
Grats again on the 10" collapsible, did it cost you $850 as described? ($999 -15% = $850?) Also, is it the black version or the white one?
Cheers
Chris
