When I said behind Peter I meant at the back of the RH200 in front of the Atlas Focuser.

There are three bolts for collimation that can be adjusted independently without any need for locking. There are also four bolts for tilt adjustment to put the optic axis on the 'new' collimated axis.

We are designing a cradle that will hold the Atlas focuser filter wheel and camera in situ. It is just a matter of releasing the Atlas focuser from the back plate of the RH200 by means of the Zero Tilt Adapter. Then slide the whole imaging assemby back and adjust, slide back in and fix. Take an image and repeat until your perverted sense of perfection comes to fruition.

We will only dabble here once we can be sure of getting back to factory settings.

At the moment it is the last on my list of priorities. Getting the optical system and mount into mutual congress is more important.

Meanwhile the rest of us real people are doing more important things like wondering who won the most inane celebrity of the week award.

How is the trim these days?
