I did my outside test and the telescope focus is sharp. That's one less problem.

However, I'm not sure if its a meaningufl test without a collimator but I looked into my focuser (without and eyepiece) until my pupil was in line with the primary mirro dot. Doing this it seems that the collimation is out quite a bit. the secondary mirror circle is not centred.

Anyway I'm getting a collimator so will know for sure soon.

As for the camera. When I have the eyepiec in the camera adapter, attached to the camera and mounted in the focuser I still can't get shar images. Even though the camera viewfinder shows a sharp image. hmmmm
