Hi, My personal view is 1) Use a laser collimator for initial alignment. The main advantage is that, you can collimate without running back and forth between the primary screws and the focuser. 2) Then do fine collimation using a star. Oh, anyway, I got a laser collimator going at a reasonable price...

For SCT users, I throw in a SCT to 2" compression ring adapter for $10 (package price only) so that your SCT can use the 2" diagonal.

Ya true.

I saw that he is considering MiniTower which I saw at Joo Beng's house, I find it actually quite hefty. So I thought his definition of grab-and-go is like things you can put into a car and setup just beside it.
