Collimating Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes
Collimation of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (SCTs) is vital in order to
produce the great optical performance possible with this design. Many
new owners of SCTs believe their optics are sub par when all that is needed
is a night of good seeing conditions and an accurate collimation. Rod
Mollise has put together an excellent guide to collimation - visit the
following page and look towards the bottom for the "Faqs 'n Files" section:
