Thanks for all the comments. Last weekend i tried again and had some success.
Collimation is still off, but not so far off that the scope was unusable.
There is still double diffraction spikes, so am i right to guess that the primary is off, or should i be looking at the secondary first?
I'm still waiting on my cheshire eyepiece from Bintel (order hasn't shipped yet... must be out of stock on something)
I tried using a laser collimator to check the secondary but didn't have much luck. I did confirm that the focuser was collimated almost perfectly, but when rotating the laser, the secondary was always off, thus i gave up on using the laser.
I followed the vixen documentation and got the primary aligned before the sun went down and then tried to get the secondary aligned with an out of focus star.
