Thanks Brendan for your reply, I was wondering what to do with those secondary spikes.

The only collimation tool I have is a cheshire, and I collimate every time I use the scope just before dusk. Then later I use a 6.3mm eyepiece and check on a de-focussed star and make sure all the circles are concentric.

It usually looks OK to me, however I suspect something must be moving, because I have to re-adjust every time I carry the OTA out.

Needs further investigating and I need more practise.

Thanks
Bill
