List;
I received an Astro-Tech 8" F4 (AT8IN) scope earlier this week. It was
badly out of alignment when it arrived and I am having problems getting
everything to line up. I have tried my laser collimator and cheshire
eyepiece with no luck. The images reflect the alignment problem. It's like
I haven't collimated a Newtonian before. I have had an 18" Obsession for
~15 years. I have called Astronomics and they can offer no advice. They
say these scopes are aligned at the factory. With the secondary not even
reflecting light from the primary I disagree.
Can somebody in the greater Phoenix area assist me?
