SCT Collmination

Hello All,

I have an old classic Meade LX200 10" tube on a Skywatcher EQ6 Pro mount. I have never collminated the optics of the scope. From what I can tell the image the scope produces seems to be clear enough to me, and I have defocused a star and the rings produced seem to be central. I have had the scope in the car while I have driven over dirt roads in the past.

I am going to be getting into astrophotography soon so I want the scope to produce the best images possible. I am not the most mechanically minded person out there so I don't want to go and start playing around with the collmination especially if I muck it up when I had no need to.

Thanks for your help.

Paul
