Well, Tony, I have had enough collimating, it is too heavy for me & I cannot get the spacing correct on the camera's. I have decided life is too short, I am wasting a lot of time & accept that this was not for me. In more capable hands, it will be really nice, did a picture of moon last night, & it looks ok.
