The Newt software has calculated a small "Diagonal Offset" dimension defined as: The distance from the centre of the tube toward the tube wall opposite the focuser that the diagonal mirror should be positioned."

OK, I can understand what this is telling me, position the diagonal mirror off centre a little bit but not why.

Can anybody tell me what the basis of diagonal offset is and why it is important?
