Danh,


I only use Newtonians ( f4.9 to f6 ) to image and observe



I use an Orion Cheshire to align the secondary mirror first then the primary and a laser to finish and double check both. 9 times out of 10 the Cheshire ends up being more accurate than the laser especially for imaging



Here's a good tutorial I found 3 years ago from Starizona on how to collimate a newtonian



It may help you



Cheers
Martin


PS: Ive used Astro Baby as well
