Hi all, well got sick and tired of trying to get good collimation on my LX200. So I went and bought a Kendrick SCT collimator. It cost a packet but if it works it will be worth the money.
The procedure for doing the first alignment is a little tricky but once you get collimation done, the scope can be quickly collimated with just the laser, on the return beam indicator. It sounds complicated but I have read the instructions three times and it all seems pretty straight forward. You have to follow the instructions to the letter or else you will not get a good result. So tonight I will be doing simply that following the instructions to get the best collimation I can. And then hopefully some imaging later in the evening.
