Thanks Mark

I had another go today. Maybe its me, but the collimation looks quite good using both this method and the Tak scope. I still have rubbish stars.

I used CCDIP to look at some old images. It looks as if my collimation has been pretty poor for quite a while - though I have images from 2011 that have roughly the same reported miscollimation. The stars in that image are heaps better than the images I posted yesterday.

So I'm still scratching my head - is it only collimation or is there something more sinister afoot?

Pete
