New mirror!

OK it's only an 8", but it's my Dad's old telescope which Cary touched up and recoated for me. OWL is a class act folks, I tell you ... Cary got me the mirror in time for a star party on short notice, great shop.
Scope is a 8" Newt my Dad made from the 70's. Re-powder coated the mount, cleaned everything up, and Cary took care of the mirror. If you had seen the condition of the scope before you wouldn't believe it now. The mount is really a charm, weighs a ton too!
I got some great views last night (I don't suffer from the new scope curse for some reason), but as I don't get a good airy disk I'm wondering if there's a collimation problem.
