appendix: centering the secondary Mirror under the Focuser
In order to use the LaserMate Pro to center the secondary mirror underneath
the focuser, you must mark the center of the secondary mirror. Do this by first
removing the secondary mirror from the telescope and making a paper template
the same way you made a template for the primary mirror. Use the template and
one of the remaining collimation targets to mark the secondary mirror’s center.
Reinstall the secondary mirror once its center has been marked.
Place the LaserMate Pro into the telescope’s focuser and turn it on. Now, peer
into the optical tube and look at the primary mirror. Notice the reflection of the
secondary mirror on the primary mirror; you will see a bright red spot on the
secondary mirror where the laser beam is reflecting off it. The red spot should
be exactly at the center of the collimation target on the secondary mirror. If it is
not, you will need to make adjustments to the secondary mirror’s position until it
is. For adjustments perpendicular to the optical axis, lengthen and shorten the
spider vanes. For adjustments parallel to the optical axis, loosen or tighten the
screw centered in the spider’s central hub. You may also need to adjust the rota-
tion of the secondary mirror relative to the focuser.
