well after a lot of trial and error i think i have got my head around this collimation thing, in fact it was quite enjoyable!
i had not heard about any one using backyard eos and attaching the dslr to do a live view but it seemed to work for me anyhow
i could just turn the computer around to the front of the scope without going to the eyepiece constantly
admittedly i spent the first half hour trying to find the focus of the target even though the c11 cap was on ha ha!
i managed to attach my 2 times powermate and my brother loaned me a 2 times cannon thingy
i took some test shots of m17 and all seems well
necessity forced me to eventually try collimation as i mucked about with it months ago and ruined what i had
