hi,


just received my meade lx90 12inch.. initially i thought my collimation was good but was unable to resolve the bands on jupiter clearly.. Then i was told that my collimation could be off. So i went back to my scope and there was possibly a teenie weenie off collimate.. so i decided to fiddle with the original collimation.. Now my collimation is completely out of whack.. have been attempting to get this right for the past 3 days (3 hours each day) with little success at perfect collimation. The big doughnut looks okay then when i get it into near focus (small doughnut), the doughnut skews.. never quite perfect.. Anyone in the Adelaide region could help me out with this? or if someone had a better method of trying to get all 3 collimation screws in the right place? i have trolled though various methods and none seem to be of help..
