Thanks all. Consensus rules. I'll get the Cheshire. Mombat probably will too.(?)

I just found out today why I could not get the scope to collimate exact!

The focuser was not perpendicular to the focal plane. 0.5mm of plastic laminate under the lower side and all fixed.

I gave it a daylight test.

WOW! what an improvement. I can focus perfectly on every strand of a cobweb on a small fence post 1 kilometre away. And that is even through heat haze using a 9mm Plossl.

Can't wait to do a real star test tonight, weather is finally starting to look good for tonight.
