Seeing has now improved and views of Saturn are very sharp (6mm eyepiece, 125x magnification). Can't see the Cassini division but that may be due to the low power eyepiece and angle of the rings.

In the future I may have another play with collimation but at the moment it appears to be very good. Moving the secondary away from the primary as far as possible proved to be the key to good collimation.

I have a Philips ToUCam 900nc adapter on order and will track down the webcam soon. Can't wait to do some basic imaging of the planets.
