Yikes! Burned out focuser Cap

Posted By Luc Coulombe

Is it just me or did anyone else noticed the bigger tragedy in these 2 photos?

The burn holes are not in the center of the eyepiece cap ... therefore one must conclude that the telescopes were not properly collimated ;-). Looks like a dangerous way to check collimation though.

Kidding aside, thank god we can joke about it Mark. Thanks for heads up.
