Hi Kunama
I adjusted the east west spider vane axis by a few mm so it’s reasonably straight now ( see photo ) used a piece of white string across the face of the OTA to check alignment
Popped the Cheshire in and still had a very slight deviation but only slight
The mechanics of the spider vane / secondary mirror design set up only allow you to adjust in or out from the centre ie: straightening out a bow from the centre into a straight line
These GSO newts are obviously built for a cost.I find the adjustment arrangements are a bit crude and take a fair bit of skill to accomplish, definitely not Swiss watch precision
I’d be happy to pay extra money for an advanced , quality engineered adjustment arrangement on these newts
Cloudy nights until Tuesday so I will check out the scope then
Thanks
Cheers
