I normally use a nearby treetop dead branch tip as a convenient reference when aligning things, but it obviously tends to wave a bit in the breeze, so we'll just have to see what we can find.

Again, thanks for the help. I'm sure we'll survive
Yeah, well... its more important to have the scope pointing downwards while you replace the screws, than it is to have it aligned on anything. 2m is a bit close for focus, so don't worry about it. Its better to have a bit of collimating to do, then to have a secondary rattling around inside the scope...
