Great video series, and not just for beginners!

Found a series of videos on Youtube that should be of interest to everyone, especially newcomers to telescopes.
The videos, all 102 of them, are presented by Astronomy & Nature Tv in the UK.

2 videos on collimation...

Collimating a Newtonian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G98RTP6jbY

Collimating an SCT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqRVIDj4aZA

If you want to check out all 102 videos http://www.youtube.com/user/Astronom.../videos?view=0

The one on using setting circles on small telescope mounts might make you stop and think!

Anyway, hope somebody gets something useful from them

Cheers

Chris
