Having a go at Collimation !


Recommended Posts

Hi all

today I have started to have a go at collimating my scope so after any advice or help I can get :smiley:

I have both collimation cap and Cheshire tool

this is the view I get down the focuser without either. ( primary blocked off and white sheet behind secondary )

is there anything wrong with this? does it still require adjustment?

This is what I see with collimation cap attached, please bear in mind camera is not fully square on due to small hole taking picture through :smiley:

how does this look

when I attach Cheshire I cannot see all 3 mirror clips not matter how I adjust, IS THIS NORMAL ?

I can only see the 1 clip around the 11 o clock position

This is has far has I have managed to get today...work beckons

What would be my next move with trying to get this right ? any help/tips or advice welcome :smiley:
