Simon LewisKeymasterLooks like a lot of interest for tonight
Terry will be down to as well so we will have a couple of us
Things for tonight ……Â
Dobs – how to collimate a dob and why we do itÂ
Setting up a dob for beginnersÂ
Polar alignment techniques and toolsÂ
Will do a bit of board work but mostly practical
You will also get a chance to start learning some of the bigger fixed scopes too and a chance for some observing
Watch for late news here 🙂
