Collimation Cassegrain ASA/Keller

The ASA/Keller Cassegrain had been collimated by taking advantage of the Gryzbowski collimator, a Chesire collimator, a barlowed Laser collimator (adjustment of secondary mirror) and finally by a real star test at the sky (adjustment of primary mirror)...

The intrafocal pattern of the star test looked equal to the extrafocal one ;-)

The seeing this night, at 20 degrees, was not 'optimal' but good enough to finish the adjustment of the primary mirror.
