Now why didn't I think of that!!

You should see underneath our rugs at home - there's so much dirt under there I keep tripping on them!

My PME is a gem (pun intended). So it's not so much an issue or problem but an adjustment. They do say to adjust spring plungers depending on the payload.

The annoying thing is ... I attempted to fine tune collimation yesterday and completely ballsed it up!


I've still got my collimation L-plates on!!! Tell you what ... this large aperture commissioning stuff is not for the faint of heart!
EDIT: My stray light issue set me back a couple of weeks, otherwise I'd have been imaging by now.

Everything connects fine and works in TheSkyX and CCDAP, but CCDAP doesn't move it to the right angle when I start a session. Some kind of offset I think. I'm just controlling it from TheSkyX "manually" at the moment. I can also link it to the FOV indicator in TSX and it works fine. I'll figure it out when I fix my collimation blunder.
