Hi Glend,
What I need is some way to move the mirror up by turning screws till I find the ideal position.
I am thinking of using a circular ring of plywood with screws in it
embedded into nuts - that are glued in place.
I just need something that I can adjust in length
& also collimate to find the right distance.

Unfortunately this problem is orders of magnitude harder than I thought.
I am working full time & I don't have a lot
of time to muck around any more.
Already my 3rd attempt has led to failure &
seems to defy the laws of physics -
it's been very frustrating for what seems like a simple problem.

cheers
Allan
