You might also check the telescope w/o the diagonal, to see if the diagonal is the problem.

What's the best BRUSH-ON flat black paint?Posted By Darian Rachal |
Doug, I seem to recall Edmund selling a small jar of flat black paint; the type used in cameras. It may have been listed in their Optics catalog.

Teneriffe Mts & PlatoPosted By Darian Rachal |
Nice shot, Mike. I know how hard it is to see that "double crater" in Plato, unless the seeing is good(at least for me), so the resolution is very nice.

Heated Vest!Posted By Darian Rachal |
Bill, You might go to WalMart & check in their hunting supply area. They sell some chemical foot warmer packs for a very reasonable price. They'll definitely keep your toes from becoming numb.
I used to bring a big Hershey bar with me while observing in cold weather & nibble on it. You can almost feel it generating warmth inside your stomach.

Plato (from a steady night)Posted By Darian Rachal |
Alan, It always impresses me, the images of Plato that you fellows come up with. I know how hard it is to see the double crater near Plato's center visually, unless conditions are good, and you & others seem to routinely "resolve" it, as well as show a myriad of smaller craters sprinkled around the floor.
See if you can't locate one of the lunar landers.
Respectfully,

The Black Dahlia - A ReviewPosted By Darian Rachal |
Thanks Dave, I am giving some thought to seeing the movie.
Perhaps you can answer this, I checked the Ellroy link & he mentioned watching the 3 hour uncut version. When movies are put out on DVD, do they generally release an uncut version? What do they mean by director's cut?

Floyd, looking forward to your report on this scope. I am hoping to eventually purchase one. I am curious about the weight of the OTA.

Magnus, Can the focuser be collimated at all? It sounds like a slight misalignment problem to me.
