Go with this second set-up and move forward.
Only question I have is how to "lock" the secondary holder in this position...

Using an artificial star will, I think confirm the collimation.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your reply. Locking the secondary mirror into position is easy, you just remove the corrector plate and screw up the secondary baffle until it is snug up against the corrector plate. I think that I'm ready to try for full collimation, but thought I would see what the experts had to say first.

Cheers
Peter
