SCT Collimation Aid

#1

Post by OAVP6554084@ »

Hello All

I am wondering if is there a method how to collimate a SCT Telescope with SharCap 4.1.

I read in the User Manual documentation that the circle reticule rings can also be used to assist with collimation. It sounds interesting.

I would really appreciate any reference.

Thank you all

Clear Skies for all

Hi,

good time to ask... There is nothing officially aimed at SCT collimation, but I'm told that the 'Planetary Live Stacking' tool can be set up in a way that helps spot the diffraction pattern and assist collimation.

See this thread on CloudyNights - https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/9119 ... ry13281003

cheers,

Robin
