Lightbridge has arrived

[manny]

Hi all
The 12" Lightbridge arrived Friday .From the moment it arrived till fully assembled I had a grin from ear to ear that even the rain could'nt wipe off (the curse strikes again ).Had to wait till Sunday night for first light and wowww the moon was absolutely awesome then jupiter, magnificent I showed Wanda (my wife ,who made this all possible )and all she could say was wow wow did you see that wow that's incredible wow fantastic. I think collimation may be out a little I used a laser that bintel told Wanda was the easiest method to collimate but I have ordered a cheshire collimator as from reading threads about Collimation it should provide the best collimation correct me if I am mistaken. collimation is like a foreign language at the moment which hopefully will all fall into place soon.In all I am very very happy with this scope Wanda also bought a shroud for it I am spoiled lol
Thanks
Manny

As Petra has said, "Welcome to the Lightbridge side"
If collimating is foreign to you I suggest you try www.andysshotglass.com Andy has a very easy to follow video that will clear up your fears of collimation.
If you need any help concerning the scope don't hesitate to ask!!
