The other way is to shift the mirror cell attachment holes up the tube an inch or so.

Thanks for that. So would I be correct in thinking that the screws/bolts around the base of the telescope hold the mirror cell in place... the bolts in the bottom of the scope move the mirror up or down within that cell?
Is there a way to know you are at the upper limit of that cell?
It was cloudy last night so I didn't get a chance to take it out to try star collimation (I've done the rough collimation of getting the reflection of my eye center in the focuser... so I think it's basically ready for star collimation).
