Dion, In terms of collimation if you can attend or want to attend Mat's next ATM, we can use both the Catseye System that Jeff and I have or use our 2 inch Howie Glatter Lasers to ensure your scope is collimated. In terms of viewing things, I'll offer two things I'd offer to anyone. Your welcome to come to our next outing to the West Desert. We will be heading out on Friday, May 31st and then again on Friday, June 7th and I'll be heading out Monday and Tuesday June 10th and 11th. I'd be happy to show you how to find objects in the deep sky. If your interested let me know and send me an email at jayleads at g mail dot com and I'll be happy to help you in the field. Nothing like a dark sky to learn the night sky. Jay
