Description

Well I posting this as a historical record of bad collimation, I really am clueless at this even though have researched lots and bought loads of different aids I cant get consistent. This is the worst I have had for months. I have touched up a few of the fatter stars in photoshop as it was making me feel poorly looking at it.

Ignoring the stars I like the nebula but am sure it would be much sharper if collimation better

Any hints and tips on collimating an Orion 8 inch F3.9 astograph gratefully received.
