According to the website http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib ... eshow.html , I wonder how to do collimation. It seems that there is no adjustment screws at the mirror cell.

I also want to know whether the design with two poles will have vibration problem. I am going to make a portable airline carry-on 10" dob. Thank you.
