Collimating an RC8?

[recceranger]

Hi folks,

I recently purchased an iOptron RC8 from FLO and it’s out of collimation. The procedure for aligning the secondary mirror was really straightforward but when I tried the primary I’m all over the place! I’m using a Cheshire EP and my intent was to get both mirrors aligned before doing a star test. Does anyone know of someone from the South Wales area that has expertise in this? I’ve followed YouTube and loads of manuals but still can’t do it.

I have seen this detailed method, which seems quite analytic:

Pricy but wonder if anyone has tried this? 🤔
