Thanks Kevin for your comments. Collimation of a SCT is not particularly hard, if you can get enough distance for an artificial star (I don't have the distance), but I rarely get a perfect night here to use a real star for collimation. I'm going to have too see if I can master Metaguide, hopefully that will help.
Of cause this wouldn't have been an issue had I not installed cooling fans (I never know when to leave well enough alone).

Cheers
