If you're an SCT telescope owner, you know how important collimation is for achieving sharp, clear views of stars and celestial objects. In this video, I’ll break down what collimation is, why it's crucial for getting the best performance from your telescope, and how mis-collimation can occur over time.
I also introduce a simple and effective tool – the EasyCollimation Kit™ – designed to make the collimation process much easier. No more guesswork when locating screws! I’ll walk you through the steps to collimate your SCT and get your scope back to peak performance.
For those wishing to achieve the finest collimation possible, I explore the MetaGuide option.
Whether you're new to SCT collimation or looking for a more efficient method, this guide has you covered!
