This infers the front cell is just screwed onto the tube with no other adjustment.
I just unscrewed the cell from my ED80 and I can't see any collimating screws within the cell.
The spacers - do they intrude much into the lens???
No, collimation would not cause those halos. Did you have any optical elements - filters etc in the optical train when you imaged?
If not, then to me it feels like the objective is not assembled correctly.... |
Hi Merlin,
Have spoken to the previous owner and its possible the objectives weren't assembled correctly after cleaning.
So, perhaps the front objective is in back to front.
A bit apprehensive about opening it up, i cant find anything online to direct me.
Will give it a go though, should be fun.
Regards
