Secondary upgrade for 254mm Newt

Hi,

Will Cats Eye collimation kit identify if the secondary mirror is aligned center of the secondary holder?

Silly question but having upgraded to 70mm secondary I think my new mirror is sitting much lower than into the tube.

Regards

Do you have the Catseye sight tube? Bring your focuser in / out until you seen the annulus gap between the reflected round mirror surface of the secondary, and the inside circle of the sight tube...
