DSB - shining a torch on the mirror surface is a sure way to scare anyone! It's amazing how terrible they look - covered in specs of dust!

About the miror lock screw - watch out when following Andys Shotglass video. Last time I looked he is speaking about adjusting the primary collimating screws but the image at the same time shows his fingers on the smaller miror lock screw.

Les, I was at at Yerrinbool at a Summer School - a bit further away than Bargo from the massive Sydney skyglow (but a bit closer to Mittagong's sky glow). But still nice after midnight.
