If this doesn't work for your scope, the only thing I can think is, that as mine was an early one, maybe something in the construction changed later. It certainly was a wobbly mount. I hung a
weight beneath the accessory tray which helped quite a bit. They made
a mistake putting a long Newt on that mount; it actually works quite well
for other SLT models. Having said that, I thought the go-to was pretty good.

You got the 130SLT to prime focus??? How??!?!
Every thread I read online with people who owned the scope said they couldn't get it. One guy actually moved his primary mirror a few cm's higher by replacing the mirror screws with longer screw.
It sounds like you had an older model.
