The Hotech laser collimator is what Cliff and I already use on our Newts.

 

Definitely the best Newt collimator around, IMHO!

 

I had two of the Hotech AstroAimer-II's but months ago I loaned my second one to someone in the dark at the VIS and I never got it back.

 

I won't be at the meeting so I'll miss the cookies!

Hello all,

I am finally back from the mainland and I have a gift for WHAC. David Ho, of Hotech has donated a nice laser collimator to our club. It is for use on Newtonians only.  I will bring it to the meeting on Tuesday. You can see an instructional video here:

He has also offered us a discount on the Hotech Astro Aimer green laser pointer. I will bring some flyers to the meeting in case anyone is interested.  You can also see it on the Hotech website here:

He would like a photo of us using the collimator, if possible.  Maybe he will put it on his website next to the photos of Mike Brown and The Meteorite Men with their Hotech Lasers.

But wait! There's more!  I am going to bake chocolate-chip cookies for the meeting on Tuesday. I'll bring milk too.

Happy to be home,
Maureen

PS - Tuesday is Valentine's Day. You better get your wives something extra-nice before heading to a club meeting on Valentine's Day.
