James tonight I am going to take a few photos of my telescope to show you that even with the mirror not perfectly centered, and the focuser not perfectly aligned to the mechanical center, the cats eye equipment will yield perfectly round stars at the focuser as last night I finally got the scope under the stars for the first time in nearly 6 months (grr weather gods and uni and work and life). I didn't use any form of collimation with the scope nor did I do a defocused star test it is purely auto collimator and stacking the required astrisims (when they all dissapear and your left with P1 amen).
I just want to make sure that when people who are starting out for the first time start reading these posts which they enevitably will that the correct information gets out there. From there people can tweak the methods to suite themself.
