The focuser was all the way out, as per the instructions on one of the above links, but i cant see any mirror clips until i move the focuser inwards. They look Ok when i do, but i wondered whether i need to move my secondary mirror to see the clips when the focuser is all the way out.
Any advice you could give would be appreciated

Hi Bob,
For what it's worth I skipped all that film canister stuff. If you invest in a Glatter laser collimator and the Catseye tool with sight tube all your collimation problems are solved. These tools will last a lifetime so are well worth the investment and make collimation a breeze.
