My new Dob's arriving soon, and I've got absolutely no collimation tools. i used to have a piddly little thing i used for my old Starwatcher, but it's time to get some real ones.
that said, I've heard two distinct schools of thought: 1) buy a laser; and 2) don't :S
I'm leaning towards the Catseye setup (less likelihood of eye injury if my kid ever grabs it) but even there I'm still a little confused.
So which two do I need? Infinity autocollimator and catseye cheshire? Can I get away with not paying another $100 (OUCH) for a sight tube?
help!
