Collimating a New Scope
Folks;
I've recently purchased an entry-level telescope at the request of a mate for his son, who may - or may not - go on with the hobby. I'd like to hand it over properly collimated, but my experience has been with SCT's / Mak-Cassegrains / Refractors, and this is a Newtonian. I'm looking for hint's and tips from any old hands out there.
The unit is a Meade (I know, I know...) Polaris 114mm, which I picked up from one of the advertisers here on special.
While no doubt YouTube would tell me a lot about what I want to know, I'm just looking for anything particular to keep a lookout for. I have a Baader Laser Colli Mk III, and the 'scope will only be used for observations.
Cheers!
