GSO Laser Collimator
Hi,
I recently purchased a rebranded GSO collimator from a Brisbane telescope store. It was a little out of collimation but I expected this and some tinkering is it is better but not perfect yet. I need to make a proper jig to align it with.
My advice is wherever you get one, haggle and compare prices and do pleanty of research on them. Understand exactly what you are getting and what results you should expect. There are pleanty of good articles on IIS and also a good video on Andy's Shot Glass.
For me, I was guessing my scope wasn't good but wasn't bad either. Some tinkering and I have gone from seeing Saturn and it's rings with limited defination of the bands to much better (perhaps 50% better).
Cheers and good luck and post us your results.
Greg
