Using the
3mm Allen wrench, turn the
large screw clockwise a small
amount, no more than 1/4 of
a turn. (Note, actual selected
alignment screw will vary.)
If the alignment screw is a large screw
First, using the 4mm Allen wrench, turn the large screw clock-
wise a small amount, no more than a 1/4 turn. (Figure 19a)
Now, with the 2.5mm Allen wrench turn the two adjacent small
screws (Figure 19b) counterclockwise no more than 1/4 turn.
Locate the small screw that is 180° opposite the first screw
(Figure 19c) and turn it clockwise no more than 1/4 turn.

Using the 2mm
Allen wrench, turn the large
screw counterclockwise a small
amount, no more than 1/4 of
a turn. (Note: Actual selected
alignment screw will vary.)
If the alignment screw is a small screw
First, using the 2.5mm Allen wrench, turn the small screw
counterclockwise a small amount, no more than a 1/4 turn.

Now, with the 4mm Allen wrench, turn the two adjacent large
screws (Figure 20b) clockwise no more than 1/4 turn.
Locate the large screw that is 180° opposite the first screw (Figure
20c) and turn it counterclockwise no more than 1/4 turn.
Repeat these two procedures as needed until the view through
the scope resembles Figure 17b.
Finishing collimation
Once you have finished adjusting your telescope, you will need
to perform another star test (described earlier) to check the
collimation. If your telescope appears collimated after star test‑

Turn the two large screws adjacent to the small screw
(Figure 19d) counterclockwise no more than 1/4 turn.
Repeat the above steps until the front opening is centered in
the direction you wanted it to go. You may need to repeat this
(or the small screw adjustment process) with other screws in
order to align it in other directions.

ing, it should not need adjustment again unless it is roughly
handled.
If you have gone through this process and your telescope is
still out of collimation, please contact Orion customer support.
You may need to return the telescope for repair (covered on
warranty for 1 year after purchase).
