Michael. You got a nice scope. The 14 is probably more like what I would really like at present.
The 14 will come with the camera collimation ring standard. I was involved with this part of the design. So on the back of the scope there will be the primary collimation screws. Almost out as far as the truss support bolts. Then right in near where you thread the focusor on is the collimation ring and there are one big bolt with two smaller grubs either side of each other. Three in sets in total. Does that make sense? If not can you take a shot of the back and I will tell you which ones are which.
Collimation on these scopes is easy once you get used to the concepts and the precision needed. I adjusted a mates scope about 3 weeks ago now and it took me about 5 minutes to get it done. It was just a fine tune of a previous attempt with the original focusor. That one took me a bit longer because I forgot which ring I was meant to be moving. Simple error but 40 minutes later it finally dawned on me what I was doing wrong.
Just move things slowly so you can work out what is going on and watch what ring moves where. If you get stuck PM me and I will give you my number so we can talk on the phone.
