oldfruit Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I am hoping to get first light with the new dob tonight as the clouds are breaking and the forecast is clear for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Received mine late last week, tonight it was looking decent so I took it out for a spin. Oh. My. I love it. Doesn't seem to need collimation yet either which is a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If you focus on a bright star and then slightly defocus one way - then the other way - you should see misty concentric circles in both directions. If the circles aren't concentric then you need to collimate the scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked for that when looking at a few stars and it all seemed good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
