Many have responded to you sky comments. Sky needs to be moonless to appreciate deep sky objects. As for the mirrors
But as for the truss pole movements. Put a little Mr sheen on a rag and polish the poles. Try not to adjust the black knobs as they help put the poles in place. If you have loosened them get them set right by doing them up just enough to hold the poles in place and yet be able to move the poles up and down. You tighten the silver nuts up when the poles are in the up position, loosen them when lowering the poles.
Good luck.
