hey all,
over the last few months i have been having some very dire problems with skywatchers budgo focuser design (same focuser for 3 different tube diameters).
Now before anybody tells me that my collimation is out. with the wide variety of tools i have used from 200 dollar plus hotec lasers, to astrosystems barlow lasers to cheshire eye pieces to star testing has been used to collminate.
I know the axis of the focuser is not matching that of the primarys axis.
I used multiwebs ideas from when i first posted about this issue, but this only slightly improved the situation but not enough for me to go thats good enough.
with the fast F# of 4.7 these things become far more noticable and affect things more and more. From reading a extremely good thread on cloudy nights

it has become apparent that i need some different tools to do the job
there for if there is somebody in the perth area who has a autocollimator and experienced and is willing to let me either meet you somewhere, come to your house or something to see if i can get this thing worked out i would be eternally greatful
