Collimation? I will have to look into this further as i have no idea what this means. I have noticed that the finder doesnt allign up correctly to the view feom the scope, is there anyway i can amend this?

i have only tried the scope in my front garden where there is a few street lamps, though i do like about 45mins from perth so the light pollution is quiet minimal.

Thanks again,

Mark.
