I have a Meade 102 ed which I have tried to collimate without success. I spent an hour trained on Polaris with a 6mm UO ortho and couldn't get the image anywhere near good. I presume the problem lies with the centering of the rear ED lens.
My question? Is there anyone in Maine with experience adjusting these lens'? I live in Thomaston and would love to get some help. I have the directions from the Meade Yahoo group, but pushing a glass element around in a lens cell sounds much more finicky than using the push-pull screws on the collimation ring.
Thanks for any response from anyone, even words of encouragement or discouragement.
