(FWIW, my corrector/secondary assembly is centred +/- 0.08mm and, taking an average of many measurements around the front corrector cell, the cell is "round" to within +/- 0.05mm, so I have high confidence I'm getting centring right. Corrector/secondary centring was out of whack by ~1mm when I got it - it definitely makes a difference!).
