Yeh looking forward to seeing the results seeker.. you should also check your secondary and primary for pinching, as I said in your image thread.
I've used the film canister, but then I bought the cheshire, and it IS easier with the cheshire, and probably gets me much more accurate results without the need to star test. Like Laurie, the star test is the final final test and minor tweak if needed.
working it out ..... the tube is good...to a point...
the way i see it collimation is like woodwork.
the tube is a coarse sandpaper
and the laser is the final wetanddry.
While I'm on the telescope hunt, I'm checking out the collimator thing. It all sounds like the Cheshire is the go, and is only $29. When I spoke with the "other" shop, they wanted to sell me a laser unit for $75. My assumption was that the expensive laser unit would be better, but then I read somewhere "use the laser to get close but use a Cheshire to fine tune". This makes the laser sound rather useless, and I should only spend $29. Is this the go?
