collimation
Hello,
I have an old 6" F5 Newton Reflector EQ3 Telescope. How important and hopw much of a difference in viewing quality might be achieved by getting it collimated? Currently I am having trouble getting details on Mars in pretty dark skies. the disk seems a bit unfocused. Thanks for any advice
