Almost Collimated again

Hi Guys,
If you have read my little missive about Meade secondary centering under the Equipment Forum, you know that I started tinkering with the collimation of my new Meade 12" F8 LX850. The collimation is almost back to where it started from, not quite there yet. Sometimes I think bugger, why could you not leave well enough alone, you had too have a tinker, well I'm getting plenty of practice now at collimation.
I took this shot the other night when there was a two hour break in the Clouds.
M104 10 x 6Min. lights, darks, flats, etc, camera is a unmodded Canon 600D with a cold finger.
If you try to over process this one you loose the detail underneath this Galaxy.
Cheers
Peter
