Collimating a SkyWatcher 8" Dob
Bought a Laser Collimator today to give the Dob its first service
Things i noticed
When placing the Collimator in the 1.25", there was still a bit of slack and when tightened up it could still shift. So i placed it in what i thought was a good position.
Adjusting the Secondary to get the laser in the donut.
The 3 Allen key bolts were so tight they would not loosen.
So i brought the laser into the donut by adjusting the 4 vein knob, is this OK ? The laser was on the edge of the donut, try as i might, i could not get it bang in the middle
Adjusting the Primary
Very Straight forward and no obvious issues. After it was done the secondary was still lined up fine
If i have done anything wrong please let me know
