Hi all, I just acquired a Sky Watcher 200P newt and have a few questions about collimation. First, I have no idea what I am doing, I also have a RASA 8 which I have never collimated and probably won't. I read Astro Baby's collimation article and found it very informative. The article says that I need a collimation cap and a cheshire collimator. My question is which one...what brand? I have looked at several of the supplier websites and they all seem to offer something different, not just a simple cap and Cheshire? I also have a Hotech laser collimator which seems to fit my moonlite focuser perfectly and says my scope is pretty well aligned. However after reading the article, it seems there is more to it than just using the laser. I would appreciate any tool advice anyone has. Thanks
