Ok my scope still appears to work after my tinkering today. No noticeable improvement, but at least it is not any worse. I'm pretty sure the primary mirror is a little out, might have a go at fixing it tomorrow.

Question.

My primary mirror has 6 clips holding it on. Everywhere I look, including the manual for my scope say there are only 3 clips. Probably doesn't matter, just wondering if this affects the way I line up the secondary mirror.

When I have lined it up so all mirror clips are visible, there appears to be a small black bar on the top and bottom of the mirror when looking through my 35mm canister. Is this caused by the primary mirror being incorrectly aligned, or is the secondary mirror on the wrong angle or is it normal.
