Didn’t give it a chance to cool down and perhaps it was a mixture of the two with bad seeing. I did notice a fair bit of movement before focusing on a star/planet - is this an indication of some poor weather up there affecting the viewing?
Anyway, I un-tightened the mirror slightly and then did some day test pointing the dob at a distance tower and it’s clear on all eyepieces and good detail. The 8mm Hyperion was a tad dull is this due to ‘lack of light’ from the 8” size? Say, if I had a 12” dob this eyepiece would improve. Sorry don’t know the exact terminology wording to describe it.
It's been a long while since I had my 12" Lightbridge and its all slowly coming back to me.
So will try Saturn again tonight hopefully it’s better.
