Hi Michael,

I hope you get the scope back in perfect collimation. I'm sure you will. Art will probably see more cells with the black tape before long.

You may have posted before about eyepiece cleaning,but I wanted to know how you do it? I can never find a solvent that doesn't leave a residue.

A few years ago I set my scope up at a state? park just east of Fort Collins.
I noticed a large statue or painting of an Indian sitting on a horse. I thought it curious that the horse's mane and tail were at right angles to the ground. Later that night I understood after being forced into my car by 50mph winds.However, it was really dark.
