Beyond the Blueprint: Creating a Galaxy - Post 10-Cleaning the Secondary Mirror

Next step…the secondary diagonal mirror. After the primary mirror, the secondary diagonal mirror was removed. It was smaller and much easier to clean. I probably could have left it on. It was a bit tricky to reinstall as we shall see.
It is important to remember the purpose of all of this. I really want to encourage anyone reading this to join their local astronomical society. I am a member of the Warren County Astronomical Society. I have gained so much more in fellowship, education and friendship than I could ever provide. All the people have been fantastic. Each event has been better than the one before. People never talk or fight about politics. Instead we get to be in awe of the natural wonders all around us. Maybe that is the key to building a better galaxy…
