Tell me about it !  (I've got a 10 inch Eq. Starfinder) I've just spent the
last three days trying to collimate the thing by just adjusting the
secondary - a feat I'm slowly beginning to think is impossible.
The secondary is a real bugger to adjust. Not wishing to turn this
thread into a bashing contest, are all secondary holders created equal
or is there a big difference in makes and models and can anyone
recommend a good one from design and ease of adjustment ???
