  • Nice vid dude. I know from reading many reviews that owners of this scope have found the collimation instructions vague; good info.

  • @jnbrown97 Thanks! When I first got the telescope I was so mad that there were no good instructions on how to collimate.... It's been a great scope though, the two inch lens rocks.

  • would you say your laser collimator is dead on accurate? I heard locking screw kinda runes the purpose of its accuracy

  • I'll be getting my own Z12 soon, so thanks for the vid. I will be referring back to it.

    BTW... 'scopes and guitars? You are too cool! Love it!

    

  • Don't you need to be sure your laser is collimated before starting this procedure? I have read comments that often the laser is not shooting the beam straight and this creares problems when lining up the mirrors.
