Here we go again back to square 1.Set up tonight for a look at saturn and what i figured was going to be just a tweak here and there.What a shocker i had exactly the same image i had last night.For some reason i am getting the impression that this scope is just utter junk.The way it came out after being set up in shop as display model.The secondary mirror when you looked through viewfinder was way off center.Is this normal? when you set it to be centered the secondary is just about back to the spider leaving very minimal adjustment movement on the adjusting screws.Looking through the viewfinder you are actualy looking more towards the spider side unless you shim the primary side.Is this normal? I guess what i am trying to find out is if anyone else with newtonians has had any of these problems colliminating .
It just doesnt seem to matter how close i follow the instructions in here and Andys i always come back to the same crap image.Even though i have made up my mind on a 12 inch dob I would still like to get this one properly colliminated so when i sell it to some newbie he/shewill not have these same frustrations.
