Thanks Richard, found it, I'll watch it and give it a go

Thanks Mike Yeah I was very happy with the change , I've read elsewhere of a lot of people having trouble with their Hyperstar collimation and had given up on it. I love mine , I've just got to slow down and spend more time on one target as Rick and yourself suggest. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers Rod
