Collimation: I use the Infinity Catseye XLK tools along with a TS Optics Concentric eyepiece to centre the Secondary mirror and all looks perfect. To verify i drop a Farpoint laser (also collimated) into the tube to double check, and its always perfect too.

Im going to try a different Coma Corrector tonight and see if it fixes anything or if the triple/triangle stars still persist.



Wow - it sounds like you really know what you're doing.
If it doesn't come right after tonight I
would be thinking that it's a dud mirror.
That happened to me once and I swapped it for
a more expensive replacement mirror of another brand
which instantly fixed the problem.
