Hi Everyone,

Well I picked up a nice second hand 10" Bintel BT-252 Dob locally.
Firstly, does anyone have an electronic copy of the user manual or equivalent (SW/Saxon etc) or point me in the direction of a link?

The Bintel came with the following:
A custom wooden box on wheels for storage/transportation
A Solar Filter (Just in time for Venus transit)
An eyepiece/filter kit including:
9mm GSO super plossl
15mm GSO super plossl
15mm plossl
20mm GSO super plossl
40mm plossl
32mm 2" wide angle
green filter
red filter
yellow filter
blue filter
moon filter

I have a 2.5x Barlow on the way.
I was wondering if there is any additional accessories I am likely to need in the near future...any advice and reasoning would be fantastic.
i.e Collimation tools, telrad?
Are there any tips or recommendations from people who have this Dob (or any for that matter) that I should know?
It's rainy here in Adelaide so I can't wait until the skies clear up to reveal the marvel I am likely to observe through this beauty.

Ryan
