Re: Complete Collimation of the Meade Schmidt Newt

All right, I've gone through all the steps now except I don't have a cheshire. The secondary mirror seems to look like it's supposed to, but when I shoot my laser collimater down it's almost an inch off of center on the primary mirror. If I spin the collimater, the laser stays right on that spot and I've made sure that the collimator itself is collimated. Should I adjust the secondary to put the laser on the center? I'm fairly sure I can't adjust the primary enough to move that spot to the center. should I just use the collimater as-is, even though it doesn't seem to be pointed to the right spot? Or should I just go ahead and get a chishire tube? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
