BAS May Meeting
Is Your Telescope Achieving its Full Potential?  Program by Arden Striker.
Remember the excitement you felt when you took that maiden voyage into the heavens with your brand new telescope?  Remember the disappointment when you looked through someone else's  telescope only to discover the images were so much sharper than yours and you had no clue why?  One of the secrets to better images is making sure your telescope is perfectly collimated and that the optics are perfectly aligned.  Arden will explain how to do this in a straightforward manner for reflector telescopes.  He will also explore some of the different misalignment errors, mirror aberrations, and other imperfections evident from a simple star test.
