Cheers Adam, I never even thought about the other end. This one has had the R&P focuser changed to a rotatable crayford and there's the problem. Took the front cell off, taped paper over the tube end and shot a laser down the tube. Twas a mile off, like 1/2 way from center to the edge of the tube. Re centered the focuser and it's now a lot closer. Thanks all.
