First bits arrive for the Orion Optics AG12 astrograph

Well...at least it's a start

Catsye red LED lights for night collimation

I am sure they will become indispensible.

I have no scope yet...so I found an alternative use - as jewelry thanks Jim Fly

Ouch on the ear lobes!

... Actually, it's recommended to clip the light on a spider leg near the Secondary holder (http://www.catseyecollimation.com/cl...40-800x600.jpg) for the most efficient illumination of the spot and reflective Cheshire ring.
