Collimation. Cheshire vs Star test
Just done some collimation tests on my GSO RC8.
In the house i used the Cheshire and got the secondary smack bang in the centre but when i did a star test looking at concentric rings when out of focus my collimatilon was way off.
So after collimating using the star test and getting even concentric rings i then looked thru the scope with my Cheshire eye peice and noticed that my secondary was way off centre.
I did a test image and my star was sharp but when i imaged at a high iso speed the star was round and sharp but had an oval flair to one side.
I'm told the only way to accurately collimate is doing a star test, fair enough. has anyone else experienced such a huge discrepency between the two?
