In either case, you need to sufficiently loosen the primary locking screws before you start, I forgot to mention that step (probably because I'm not using them on my Mak and removed them altogether).

I was using the instructions for the discontinued Orion 150mm Maksutov Cassegrain which was sort of similar to mine, as it had the silvered meniscus.

I had thought that only slightly undoing the locking screws would in turn limit the amount of movement of the star outside of the field of view when I then turned the other screws. It didn't work out that way.
