OHHH…I Understand now with the Laser!!!...It’s a bit like that with me…sorry…I also worked out which of the two little knobs was the tension and did as you said…& guess what…problem solved there too!!! (I had both either lossened or tight + did not know what was what until I had that link to see the descriptive parts.
There really ought to be better instructions…the wobble on the focuser can play havoc with collimating as well.
I’ll try for a better collimation tonight (I'll tweak the primary)…I am nearly ready for first light…Fitting it all in my car will be my next testJ

Oh yea…About Venus…what you say about glare is true…I tired one of my polarizer’s but it did not make that much difference…I take it somehow the two should be used together…one of them screws in, but then I am unsure how to attach the other filter? Any suggestions?

I understand that without the glare I will see even more wow factor…I will however try it again.

Thanks for all your help so far.
Have a good day all!
Dave.
