cat's eye infinity and collimation
This is driving me nuts and I'm not sure if I'm being too pedantic or if it is warranted.
I have the Cat's Eye collimation kit with the TeleCat, Infinity, and BlackCat. No real dramas with the TeleCat and initial collimation of the secondary and primary, but when using the Infinity for precise secondary collimation I just can't get the 2 "hot dot" reflections to line up perfectly. I can get them pretty close so they're overlapping, but it's certainly not as perfect as the photos in the manual show.
I just have a 10" Black Diamond and maybe it's the quality of the secondary and it's screws? Or it could be my technique? I try very slightly loosening one screw, then tightening another, but it seems after a few goes the whole secondary moves out of collimation a lot, like a jump, and I have to start the whole process again.
Should I just stop and be happy with the hot dots overlapping mostly and don't worry about them being "perfect"? Or is the difference between perfect and almost very noticable?
