Thank you for doing that Robin, it's very encouraging that I've been doing something right! I was looking at a star test and thought there was just a little bit of tweaking to do (I've heard so much about how difficult these fast Newts are to collimate). I think the slight aberration that I was chasing might be that Tube flex that we discussed. I have a longer dovetail that I'm going to try and see if that helps. Now looking at the figures I might leave that alone and focus on getting the guiding going. I've got 3 nights at work now but it looks like the fine weather is going to hold until I'm on days off again.
all the best
Paul
