My point of writing this practical guide on collimation is to help amateur microscopists who may one day find themselves in similar traumatic circumstances to the above, and in response to a …

ADJUSTING THE PRIMARY TILT Here are the primary mirror’s collimation screws. Note the warning below about placing the telescope in this position!

This manual contains information on how to test the collimation of your telescope and instructions for proper alignment should that be needed. Do not attempt to adjust the collimation screws, if …

As you progress in the collimation process, your movements will become smaller and smaller. Recenter the star using the telescope coordinates controls. Adjust the shape using the primary …
