The RASA 11 has 2 mirror locking screws which have been removed from the RASA 8. The RASA 8 Manual claims the mirror is permanently factory aligned
I have contacted Celestron for more specific instructions.
Otherwise I have been very happy with the scope.

If the primary was set at the factory but arrived lose then you have a big problem. Might want to talk to Don at Bintel. He'll be able to advise.
