Can’t you give me a link to the info????

Hi Ken,
I don't have the info.... I have the diagonal here and have actually recollimated it a few months back.
The diagonal's hard silver coated mirror is bonded to the back plate and each corner of the diagonal's back plate has M3 grub screws for 'push' and M3 cap screw for 'pull'.
This one was slightly out of collimation in that my 2" Glatter laser's spot ended up being 7mm off centre.
I first tested the focuser alignment by removing the diagonal and using an extension tube with the laser, this placed the laser spot on centre. I then removed the extension tube and inserted the diagonal to see that the spot was now 7mm off towards 11 o'clock, I then adjusted the 'push/pull' screws to centre the spot on the objective of the TMB-LZOS 152. ( I used a circle cut from white paper with x & Y axis marked and centre that over the objective)
