thanx. its all a bit clearer now.( unlike the view thru a powerseeker 127!) glad i never read that thread before buying it. probably wouldnt have. glad i did, tho, it has taught me a lot. seems like most people reached the same solutions ( cement in legs, plastic shims, etc.) i also changed both mirrors so that they are pulling onto (with springs) the adjusting screws. i have a bad familial tremor, and this made collimating a lot easier. trying to use a phillips can be tricky (to say the least), and the way my head bobs around, im amazed that i can see anything thru the eyepiece ! still, as dodgy as the scope is, it did open my eyes to the heavens. no looking back, now!
