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.
