Hi Alex

I think I found the problem, The secondary mirror had a waxy smear completely over it. I just finished cleaning it & it looks crystal clear now. Will test it out again tonight to see if I'm right. I'm thinking it was caused by the plastic cover plate as certain plastics give off fumes. The telescope had not been out for several months in it's closed state.
