Also M17 and M20, the list is infinite.

Have you seen this on collimation?

http://www.astrophoto.fr/collim.html

Take the time to do it as it pays off. I was always frustrated by the newt mirror slop and the loss of collimation between targets at differing altitudes. I had bearings to keep the mirrors centred. I had tried silicone - ing the mirror to the whiffletree but it caused difficulties. Maybe best combo is a short tube astrograph and a big apo.

Good luck
