Location: Lisbon Falls, Maine		I am about to recieve a used Meade SN 10". I have read that these scopes a very particular when it comes to collimation. The Cats Eye comes highly recomended to simplify the process, but when I visit thier site,( http://www.catseyecollimation.com/sighttubes.html ), I find quite a variety to choose from. Can some one help me avoid a mistake and tell me which model is best suited to my scope? thanks (Sorry folks, just realized I have posted this in the wrong area...my bad.)

Do you mind if I as how much you paid for your SN10?

Sorry for the late reply. You will need the 2'' Telecat. It will make collimating your SN a breeze. I would also like to suggest an 2'' JSP Autocollimator as it will help you get that last little bit of collimation perfection that the SN's need.

Here is where I talk about the SN collimation process: http://www.telescopejunkies.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=95&posts...

Let us know if you have any more questions and congrats on your great scope!
