recceranger Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfotis Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have seen this detailed method, which seems quite analytic: http://www.deepskyinstruments.com/truerc/docs/DSI_Collimation_Procedure_Ver_1.0.pdf N.F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Pricy but wonder if anyone has tried this? 🤔 https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p11188_TS-Optics-2--LED-Collimator-for-RC-Telescopes-and-all-other-Types-of-Telescopes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
