I am having a real problem with my 10 inch meade sc. I can not get the scope collimated no matter what I do. I have followed all the recommended ways to do it. it seems that the secondary is so far out of wack that the more I try the worse it gets. I can not get the star pattern shown in the manual where all you do is adjust the screw to move the dark circle towards the center. Is there a common starting point to begin the fine tuning? I just purchased an artificial star to try that out this evening. the laser collimator does not work on a sc it showed the red dot in the center of the disc but when I looked through the eyepiece, the image was blurry and would not come into focus.
need some ideas. thanks
