ok got it sorted. got home with few minutes to spare before dark took the scope outside for a quick play the closest thumbscrew to the tube does locking the other one does tension on the eyepiece all good now. thanks for the help guys. its good to see the moon except for high level cloud there's a fair bit of haze around it but at least i can see something
. got the scope cooling down under the veranda i'll have some tea then hopefully go find a star. one more question do you find the secondary mirror or diagonal very blurry or almost discernible in the eyepiece ? should you notice the diagonal when looking through the eye price or is it something you get used too?
