Comforting to hear it shouldn't be affecting the lens, I've had nothing but superb images with this telescope since buying it, I even split eta Geminorum, a first for me.
Thanks again.

Is the TOA-130NS a split tube design like the FSQ-106N? Dave does your scope have a seam running around the tube just below the dew sheild. It maybe a left hand thread and simply taking the to halves in each hand and firmly rotating anti-clockwise will tighten the tube. If it was an FSQ-106N that you had I would be cautious doing this but because the lens elements are up front in a TOA tightening the tube halves will not affect the alignment.
