With regards to the pic in previous post, the offset in the reflection has been driving me mad, do other with skywatcher 8" dob owners also have this , or can this be fixed by moving the mirror by adjusting the central bolt, or adjusting tilt.
If I rotate the mirror to correct it, it throws the alignment of seeing the three pri. mirror clips when collimating..

Reading the following, seems that this is nothing to worry about, but the reflection of the focuser upwards, whereas my offset id to the left. Some assurance that others have this would put my mind at rest.
