17B.
•As you make adjustments to the
primary mirror tilt screws (3, Fig. 13),
you will notice that the out-of-focus star
disk image will move across the eyepiece
field. Choose one of the 3 primary mirror tilt
screws and slightly move the shadow to the
center of the disk. Then slightly move the
telescope using the flexible cable controls to
center the star disk image in the center of the
eyepiece.
• If any further adjustments are necessary,
repeat this process as many times as needed
until the out-of-focus star disk appears as in
Fig. 18C, when the star disk image is in the
center of the eyepiece field.
• With the star testing of the collimation
complete, tighten the 3 hex-head primary
mirror locking screws (2, Fig. 13)
