The bottom mirror does have a ring in the centre for collimation

Have relatives over tonight, so collimation will have to wait until tomorrow. Cloudy sky tonight anyway.

mmmmmaaaaattttteee!!

what are you trying to say??????
look the relatives will know where to find you, just don't let em touch the scope!!!

cmon fellow forum members, this new guy is having those guilt issues about the family thingymebobs!!!

set the precedent straight away, family is not to interrupt astronomy at any time!!!

clouds can disappear at any time and the seeing conditions may turn out to be 10/10 and you would have missed it.

believe me, your kids will be in uni before you tear your eyes away from your scope.

there are astronomers anonymous groups every new moon, so you can chat to fellow sufferers, stay up all night and then go to work!!!

you can't pull out on us now!!!
