A little collimation
"Joe S." wrote in message ... Goes a long way. Collimation is one of those things that may take a little, or a lot, of work to get perfect (and getting it perfect can make a WORLD of difference in your images)... That's the way it is... If you work at it all the time, most of the time, it will be no big deal... But there's no guarantee... Do what you've gotta' do, and you will be rewarded with fine images... If you don't take the time to do it right (or allow sufficient time to reach thermal equilibration), you WON'T be rewarded... Your choice... Again, to be clear, YOUR CHOICE... -- Jan Owen To reach me directly, remove the Z, if one appears in my e-mail address... Latitude: 33.6 Longitude: -112.3 http://community.webshots.com/user/janowen21

Doesn't a laser collimator make it a lot easier, by allowing you to see the effects of your adjustments to the primary mirror without actually looking through the eyepiece? --- Dave

And I just found out adding a new focuser to a DS 10, (10" f4.5) you can get a good laser pattern and STILL have the secondary, and or focuser out of alignment. Having an accurate center dot on the primary helps here (helped me !) This is a JMI EV focuser, which has enough adjustment (6 DOF) that it was easy jacking it up and aligning everything. (secondary in DS 10 is *pushed* down 3/16", and back 3/16") And for an SCT, I don't think there really is any other *good* way to collminate them. -- AM

Do you really think anyone who matters here doesn't realize that "I
agree", "Milwaukee" and "Raymond" aren't all the same person? Man, not only are you a troll, but you are a really lame one! Come on, you can do better than this.
