Har nu hållit på ett bra tag med min 190mn och trimmat och kollimerat men ännu har jag inte nått fram dit jag vill. Tuben har blivit bättre men.. I min laserkollimerare och cheshire ser det helt perfekt ut men på bilder tagna med teleskopet får jag problem med former på stjärnorna. Andra säger att denna MN190 kan vara riktigt knepig att kollimera, och jag böjer åt hållet att hålla med om det. MEN jag är ingen expert heller!!
Har provat det mesta, säkerställt att primärspegeln inte är klämd på någon ledd(tips från Lasse Hermansson), Fokuseraren rakt monterad, senare utbytt mot moonlite=stor förbättring i stadighet. Säkerställt att korrektorlinsen vid ljusöppningen inte är klämd. Återstår bla. sekundärspegeln, funderar på att limma den med silikon i stället för original-dubbelhäftade tape som håller den nu. När tuben var ny var sekundärskruvarna mkt hårt åtskruvade bla. Har hör att detta kan orsaka problem.

Min lilla tråd på "bad english" om bytet av fokuseraren

Skriv gärna här om era egna erfarenheter rörande kollimering av Skywatcher190MN även Orion190MN.
Jag saxar in ett mail som kom till mig härom dagen rörande kollimering av 190MN.
Hi Gunnar. I've just been reading your interesting thread about collimating your MN190, after replacing the focuser. I had a similar experience a year or so ago and posted some info on SGL then. I'd be grateful for your opinion:
Right now I have a dilemma. I'm getting pretty good stars with my MN190 but I got to this point by some quite big trial-and error adjustments of secondary position and focuser tilt. So although stars are quite good, the image hot-spot is not central and vignetting is not symmetrical. My guess is that I introduced one error when I moved the secondary mirror closer to the primary (because the Moonlite did not line up with the secondary - and it doesn't have slotted holes for adjustment as you know). Then I compensated for this error by tilting the focuser. Now I wish I had made an adapter plate for the Moonlite to enable me to move it up/down the tube a bit, and leave the secondary alone.
After I moved the secondary down, to line up with the focuser, I did normal collimation carefully and eventually got good star diffraction pattern in the centre of FOV ..... but then in images, stars away from centre were terrible. I have collimated Newtonians before OK and just could not figure this out. In the end, I moved the secondary back up the OTA towards its original position nearer the corrector, so now it's not centered under the focuser. I then adjusted focuser tilt screws by trial and error until stars came out 'OK' near the corners. So, no science here - just some guesswork!
Results now are OK but I'm sure collimation is not right and like I said, I compensated one error with another and got lucky! So my dilemma: I would like to get this right, but if I start changing things, maybe I'll never get it back even this good!
Does it make sense to you that moving the secondary further from the corrector - to line it up better with the focuser - would make it seem impossible to get a good collimation and good corner stars? And why moving the secondary back up - OUT of alignment with the focuser would seem to be a starting place for a BETTER collimation? I don't get it. I'm reluctant to start 'improving' things until I understand better what is going on here.
I wondered if you have any ideas.
Regards
Adrian
