This was all part of my initial pre imaging set up on a decent bright star to check it. Be nice to have the proper 845 Meade mirror with adjusting screws, but I couldn't justify that much on a mirror.
Well, Im not sure exactly what I was doing, but by playing with the tension controls, I was able to get it close enough that I can probably make do - I might even be able to get it perfect, but then again I might completely stuff it up
