From there, go step by step thru your collimation procedure again, starting with the centering of the focuser in the tube, the 2ndary in the centre of the focuser, (using a sheet of white paper on the opposite side of the tube to see what's going on), etc etc.
Just take your time with it..

thanks for your reply. I have turned all 3 screws all the way down. I use a laser to collimate my primary mirror. 2 screws seem to be evenly turned while only one takes less turn . weirdd. thanks for the idea of the white sheet. i'll try that.
