It seems to be ok . So either I'm lucky or it doesn't really matter.

Hi Jennifer,
I think that Meade purposely offset the secondary in the corrector plate. I had to do a lot of searching of the NET to find anything on the subject, and if the offset caused serious problems, then the NET would have lit up like a Christmas tree, when we have problems we are fast tell everyone about them. Meade has been around a long time and has a good reputation, if they where that sloppy they wouldn't be still in business .
Cheers
