The other new item I bought at TSP was a 2″ Howie Glatter laser collimator, with Barlow attachment. I always try and buy new astro ‘stuff’ at TSP because buying stuff in the States is so much cheaper than here in ‘Rip-off Britain’ (Rip-off EU).

The Howie Glatter collimator has rave reviews and ensures perfect collimation each time. I may yet get a TuBlug to go with it, as I might not be bothered to remove the shroud every time but, for now, this’ll do the job in place of my old SkyWatcher, which will be kept for use with my 8″ scope which doesn’t accept 2″ fit equipment.
