SCT Telescope Collimation (With NO fancy tools)
Channel: Dylan O'Donnell
Date: 2023-07-08

Being out of collimation is not fun. Trying to collimate an SCT telescope can cause serious mental anguish. So instead of reading the instructions, you should watch this video first so you know what you're doing. Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing. 

Shout out to High Point Scientific who know what they're doing.
