The cell just threads onto the tube and there is no special alignment. -------------------- Mahalo, Colin Kaminski Coulter 10.1" Dobsonian PST TV-76/Baader White Light Filter/LS50F/BF1200 LS60T/DS50/FT/BF1200 DSM LXD-75 Post Extras:       solmax professor emeritus Reged: 02/26/06 Posts: 721 Loc: San Jose Ca.
