I do still have the Tak collimating scope. You're welcome to borrow it if you like.
Cheers,

Ya reckon - the Mach 1 punches above it's weight!
Some success with the old paramount. Unfortunately Bisque have become non-responsive on requests for advice, even when I tell them I have money in the bank to spend on a new computer if required???? I bought a dovetail saddle for the mount from AP recently and Darleen was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I'd be very reluctant to deal with Bisque for a new mount in the future...
I'll try collimating the scope again tonight, but if it proves unsuccessful, I'll get in touch with you about the Tak.
