Collimation Experiment in v3
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 2:59 pm
Just installed V3 on my desktop, pro license. No connection to the scope or any meaningful camera. That is all on my observatory PC.
Question -- noticed in the tools list 'Collimation [experimental]', but its not in the help file that I could see or anywhere else. And given the rain, clouds and other stuff we are blessed with (rude words) it will likely be a while before I can explore. Can you say anything about the approach being used and what folks might look for? My scope is a pier-mounted Ritchey-Chretien so it doesn't need it a lot, but when it is good seeing (rare) I do check.
Thanks,
