To collimate the Meade EclipseView 82 telescope:
1. Slightly unthread the three secondary mirror collimation screws so you can tilt the secondary mirror holder. 2. Tilt the secondary mirror holder by hand until the primary mirror appears centered in the reflection of the diagonal mirror. 3. Thread in the three collimation screws to lock the holder in place. 4. Adjust the screws as needed to fine-tune the tilt of the secondary mirror until the entire primary mirror is centered in the secondary mirror reflection.
When done correctly, the view should match the properly aligned example in the manual.
