Good to hear that you got your mirror at last Ron. I got my scope out for a 2 am go at the storm on the weekend. I was so tired that I forgot to put one of my weights on the back of the scope before loading up the front end with fat eyepiece and parracor. the scope swung down, off its mount and the jolt pulled one of the secondary holder wire attachment points off. Very disturbing. So no storm. Still, some araldite and the secondary is all fixed and I think better collimated than ever. Here's hoping for another go, but it seems Jupiter's dad doesn't want us to look at his blemish.
