i do have tools its just they arnt the right ones for aligning the optical axis with the focuser axis. generally my laser and cheshire are ample sufficient to get the beast tamed. but the insessive tinkerer in me took the focuser apart without knowing how bad syntas design was.
though it would be greatly appriciated to have a lend to see if i can sort this thing out.
today though i had another go at getting everything aligned to the best of my equipments and my own ability attached is a pic of the outside defocucused image with a 2x barlow, Meade DSI ccd, SW 254mm dobsonian, i belive that its pretty close.
If there is anybody who knows what star patterns should look like could you have a look at this picture taken
