My Meade 114NT was completely out of collimation after I replaced the focuser.
I used a film can pinhole to collimate it and I viewed a licence plate sticker 84 feet distance. I could easily read 1/8" numbers and could almost read smaller numbers.
Is this test a reasonable performance test prior to viewing a star out-of-focus pattern?
