Thanks Peter,
a friend of my daughter who has the same telescope has offered to show me the ropes on collimating this w/end
so hopefully we will have clear sky, last night was good and managed to find the Jewel Box , I bought a Telrad and I must say it is way better than the finder scope that came with the telescope, I know now were to look for Saturn and last night I just put the bullseye on it and presto it was right there in the eyepiece

Clear skies
