I'm collimating this little f4 6" Newt. Do you all think this collimation of the secondary is close enough? I'm going to try and use it for imaging when the weather clears... It was horribly off when I started, so this is much improved. When I try to get it better than this, I go the other direction and can't seem to achieve perfection.

Thanks for any input!

I don’t know how close you are, there’s no picture. Feel free to bring it over any time, we can check it out.

I forgot the attachment, but resent with it. Hopefully it goes through.

Thanks Jeff, if I can't get this, I'll bring it to your shop!

My internet is acting up. But I think I see what I did wrong. I just pulled the spider vein and starting over from scratch. Rainy day astronomy lol

Again, if you want me to check it with you I’m good any time.
