Choose one of the 3 primary mirror tilt
screws and slightly move the shadow to
the center of the disk. Then slightly move
the telescope using the flexible cable
controls to center the star disk image in
the center of the eyepiece.

• If any further adjustments are necessary,

repeat this process as many times as
needed until the out-of-focus star disk
appears as in Fig. 17C, when the star
disk image is in the center of the

mirror locking screws (2, Fig. 13)
