Hello,
Having some trouble getting sharp images and have been messing with the collimation for a while with no real change. It's a Meade DS-2130At long tube.

While looking down the focuser tube, the reflection of objects in the primary are always blurry. If I put my hand or any object within about 2' of the tube opening, the view is much sharper. Anything beyond about 2' is really blurry. The reflection of my eye in the secondary looks crisp always. I'm seeing this while adjusting in doors.

My question is: Is this normal? If it is normal, could you explain why?

To summarize: The doughnut is blurry but the hole is sharp. Is this normal?

Thanks for any information

i think that earth is a molecule, or an atom, a thing that makes up a cell, the universe makes up a part of a cell, a few universes added together makes up a 'cell.' or atom
this cell or atom makes up an object or tissue in an organ.
and that in side human cells are 'galaxies' and inside their cells are another life form.
or the earth is floating in dust in side an object made of particles of 'universes'
anyone agree only slightly??

I was asked this years ago (by a Boy Scout, no less!) and was unable to provide an answer, specially since Scout came to be one of the most dependable launch vehicles ever. It was also known as LTV Scout and was employed in several variants, including (for the military, I believe), the so-called Blue Scout.

The plane in which the orbit of a planet lies is referred to its "orbital plane". Each of the nine planets has its own orbital plane. The term "inclination" refers to the angle at which the orbital plane is tilted with respect to a plane that is the standard of reference. Notice that the inclination of the Earth's orbital plane is 0. Explain why.

Honestly I have no idea why the plane is 0. My only guess is that the plane is not tilted, which would make it 0, but that does not seem like it would be the answer.

NASA wanted to change the flight plan of Apollo 7 DURING the mission. Wally Schirra got mad at that! Chris Kraft thought Wally was wrong to be angry. Who was right? I think Wally was.

Some say the landing of Neil Armstrong on the moon is fake (It was staged), Others say it really happened. What are the logical bases and evidences that its a phony? Did Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin say it was a hoax? Did NASA in Houston, Texas and JPL say that it was faked? If it was faked do you think that NASA is hiding something? There are also videos of these too. Is the man wearing the astronaut suit REALLY Armstrong in these videos? What started these rumours? What is the core truth of these circumstances? Why did they even faked this?

Someone told me it was mathematically impossible to suggest that we are alone in the universe. Is this true?

When I try to imagine absolute nothingness I imagine it like the space we see except without the stars and the planets - huge, empty, silent 'space' of darkness. Is it technically wrong to think of nothingness as being "dark"? I guess what I'm trying to ask is would nothingness be black in colour or does the blackness indicate there is something so it cannot be nothingness?

I had thought that as you travel faster time goes slower, but only for the observer.

But I remember an experiment ran by NASA several years back, where they took an atomic clock on one of the shuttles, and compared it to an atomic clock on earth when it landed, there was definately a difference.

How is this possible if it's only the observer who notices the slowing of time? Very confused.

If the sun is also orbiting the centre of the milky way galagy, this must increase the speed that we are travelling through space. How fast are we actually moving
