Thank you all for the advice and help.
I managed to head out to the Tamar Valley Astronomy group night on Saturday night and met some very nice people. It wasn’t a great night sky wise as was very cloudy due to coming rain. That said, Michael had a look and collimated it for me. It wasn’t out too much at all.
It looked very easy and something I can do quite simply. I have seen a few videos and comments on this forum but until I actually saw it for real, now understand how easy it is. I just need to buy a collimator.
Last week I did manage to reduce some glare by using a moon filter on the brighter objects.
This week isn’t shaping up to be too good in the sky which is frustrating but can’t be helped.
Again, thank you to all who offered some advice and help.
Regards
Scott
