Club Scope Update

[Deleted]

Good news today,from D.S. The secondary mirror has been re-coated at Optiques Fullum.
It was checked out by Normand himself and said to be excellent. I was worried that the
oxidization may have etched the glass. We await the shipment.
Also the upper cage has been refurbished as have the lower pole blocks. This will
make it easier to put together.
The primary mirror looks really clean, no mold or mildew growing on our little petri dish!
See you next club meeting...

More good news tonight.
The secondary is back and installed. That didn't take long. 
According to DS it looks great. Our cheers to Optiques Fullum
for such a fast turn around.

We are doing a test fit tomorrow to see what we have the way of collimation.
I plan on testing it in my front yard later on Jupiter. Maybe Venus, too.
