I have just complete & collimate a truss tube scope (3 truss pole).
But when I tilt it towards horizontal position, the primary mirror collimation was somehow 'shifted' in one direction. It seems like somebody had adjust the primary mirror collimation screw. I've checked that all screw are tighten & the primary mirror was not shifted, but still unable to track down what went wrong. As the side bearing is quite low, I employed a spring mechanism to counter balance the scope. When I remove the spring mechanism & hold the upper cage as I lower the scope, the 'shift' in collimation seems to be slightly minimize. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks. |
