Can I collimate using flatfields
Hi,
Just wondering, am I right in saying that for a collimated scope, the brightest part of the image should be directly in the centre of the image.
The idea is that I am thinking of writing a program to check the location of the illumination of the field. To collimate, I would then try and centre the brightest part of the field. This might allow accurate collimation during the day, and lower the workload at night.
I really don't know if my thinking is correct, so if someone could enlighten me that would be great! Any other ideas also welcome.
Thanks
George
