| Well after trying for days to get the main primary tube centered
I gave up and decided to work with what I had. So I decided to make
a plate that sits in the secondary hold to shoot a laser through and
center the corrector |
 |
| I then installed the Howie Glatter laser in the 2" holder on the
back of the C-14 |
 |
| This then projected a beam up through
the primary tube, its hard to tell but the beam is not quite in the middle. |
 |
| What was no surprise to me was no matter how much I moved the
corrector I could never get the laser through the whole. |
 |
| I then had to mark and remove the secondary holder from the
corrector so I could get it into a better position to offset the
primary being off centered. I was then in business |
 |
| I figured while I was on a roll why not align the Hyperstar lens
so I installed a 2" adapter to it along with the laser to shoot a
beam the other way. |
 |
| I made an adapter for the other end of the scope to go on the
visual back, and with a couple of turns of the collimation screws to
the Hyperstar Presto I had a beam |
 |
| This also projected a perfect grid on the wall
|
 |
| Now just to double check everything I reversed the visual back
and the laser and shot a beam through the Hyperstar and I am dead on |
 |
| Of course it is raining here and is supposed to for the next
week but once I can test I will update this page |
