I've been looking for resources but haven't yet found
what I think I need. I suspect an expect is reading saa ... I have a Celestron Nexstar 102 GT refractor. It has begun showing symptoms of a collimation problem - "comet tails" on stars at high magnification. There are no adjustments I can find on the objective cell, and no information in any of the docs I can find from Celestron. I've read this symptom on a refractor might also be caused by a problem with the diagonal or drawtube. I've tried a friend's diagonal, and also better brands of eyepieces, with the same symptoms. I don't know how to check the drawtube for misalignment. How do I decide which adjustment this Nexstar needs and apply it correctly? Does somebody have the procedure I need written up somewhere? I'll be very grateful for pointers. Thanks. -- Glenn Holliday |
