Perkil8r Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 My Cheshire arrived today, and highlighted the fact that the focuser was quite a way off. Still, nice piece of metal for my collection of scope bits n bobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I dont quite follow that, what did you verify about the focuser with the Cheshire? The crosshair was nowhere near lined up with the centre line of the focuser, or at least where it should be. All sorted now though. Yes I know it might not be as accurate as a laser for aligning the focuser, but with a bit of applied physics and comon sense you can use it quite easily for this purpose.
