Can't collimate my telescope


Recommended Posts

Hi, I've been trying to collimate my telescope and I can't seem to get it. I haven't even made it past the secondary mirror. I can't see the three nodes(?) that you are supposed to see that indicates it is properly alligned. I can see one, maybe two at a time but the third one elludes me and I don't seem to make any progress. Anyone have any advice on being able to get this thing properly alligned. I feel like I am running in circles and not making any progress. Thank you for any help, I appreciate it.

where roughly do you live? it's so much easier to be shown than to have it explained. you don't need to see all three mirror clips if you have the secondary initially centred and round in the focuser drawtube (but you do need to see the whole secondary for this bit).
