Collimation tools
Hi Paul
Thanks for the reply.
I live on 5 acres so there is no problem about distance for setting up an artificial star test. I suppose the question is: is an artificail star test more accurate and easy to do than pointing the scpe at a star at night and doing it that way?
Interesting add on to the above. Yesterday i used my Cheshire collimation tool to get the secondary perfectly centred only to discover at night thru the scope that when out of focus my mirror was way out. Viewing was very bad last night. Checked my scope this morning and it is way out of whack when viewed with the cheshire collimator.
Does the artifical star give a more accurate collimation guide?
Any suggestions from the community welcome
