Subject: ATM New to list
Hello all,
I'm new to the list, but have used the archives extensively to construct
my first telescope. It's a 10" f/6 (University Optics primary) completed
leap day '00.
I want to thank everyone for indirectly contributing
to it's success!
My question is how do I remove a botched center dot on the
secondary? I used a Sanford Sharpie fine point permanent (hopefully not)
marker and slipped (naturally) when doing so. I shrugged it off at the
time because I was so eager for first light, but now the guilt is setting
in. Besides, I may just take this opportunity to offset anyways, or
shouldn't I bother on a f/6 system (1.83)?
In lieu of an 18" mirror to cure the aperture-fever, I will be constantly
modifying the 10 to help cure the less malicious tweak-fever.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Clear Skies,
Bill
