How did you go sorting the issues with the Meade Schmidt Newt?

Mike
Thanks for the feedback Mike. I think I got the collimation sorted in the week before AF. I think the issue is the secondary rotates when I adjust the secondary collimation screws. I've been experimenting with rotating the autocolimator 180 degrees to see if the hotspot shifts. I then iterate rotation of the secondary and colimation adjustment until the hotspot image is not impacted by rotating the autocolimator. I'm not sure if this is the intended procedure but it seemed to work.
