Next, adjust the tilt of the primary mirror until the reflection
of the secondary mirror is centered within the reflection
of the primary mirror.
For the 8” Dobsonian,
use the 2.5mm hex key and
Phillips head screwdriver to tilt the primary mirror. There are
three pairs of collimation screws. Each pair works together
to adjust the tilt.
a.
Adjust one pair of screws at a time. Start by
loosening one of the screws in the pair and
tightening the other (Figure 20).
Figure 20:
For the 8” Dob, there are three sets of push-pull screws
in the mirror cell that adjust the tilt of the primary mirror. Loosen one
screw in the pair and tighten the other to adjust the tilt.
b.
If the mirror tilts opposite the desired direction,
loosen the screw that you previously tightened,
and tighten the other screw in the pair.
c.
Once you have adjusted one pair of screws as
much as you can, move onto another pair of screws.
d.
Continue adjusting until the reflection of the
secondary mirror is centered within the reflection
of the primary mirror. When you are finished, the
view through the collimation cap should look like
