Collimation...There I said it! It's what's been keeping me out of the game since last week and what caused my limping a round the house mumbling weird astro-techie terms to my wife all weekend! The astronomers out there now it and most of us hate it. We hate having to deal with it and we certainly hate wasting precious observing time tweaking and adjusting again and again until we get it right. This is what I'm doing at the moment and when I'm not adjusting things at the scope I'm actually reading about it and studying different points of view on the matter trying to figure out exactly how to go about it!
I found a small point of light in the end of the tunnel though and next clear & steady night I should have results to show!
I dont see it for the next couple of days as we have rather fast winds approaching.
