Saturday I met with Raeburn Kennard to examine his 10" Odyssey. The optics were remarkably clean for such an old telescope, so much so that a cleaning wasn't warranted. He is to be commended for taking such care to protect his optics. Also his collimation was so close that it came down to the utilitarian sink-trap focuser being the sole reason for any out-of-collimation condition. Again, remarkable to see a cardboard Dobsonian hold collimation so well, for so many years. Upgrading to a new, more precise focuser was discussed as an option. Many veteran observers could take a lesson from the meticulous care Raeburn has obviously exercised with this telescope. The optical tube is essentially in new condition, even though he has used it extensively over the years.
