Did they at the shop give you a quick lesson in collimation b4 you took it home?
Now get yourself a planisphere to do a bit of starhopping to help find the DSO,S that you will observe.
Take it out tonight or tommorow night as the new moon was last night after that it will be moon and planets.
Cheers Kev.
Thanks Kev!

He briefly showed me how to use the laser collimator he sold me, although I'll need to read instructions off the net again. A bit worried about safe usage of it. Also, I've read that laser collimators are generally not that great (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-390-0-0-1-0.html) - what do you reckon?

Here's hoping the skies clear tonight!

Cheers DSB
