Gee, thanks so much, Alexander, you are a huge help.


Looks like I've managed to to get it collimated to some extent. Much easier on my eyes, now, Venus is much larger, have managed to use the 10mm plossl.
Seeing blue and yellow at opposite ends of Venus (top & bottom), the diffraction spikes are coloured blue and yellow, now there are another 16 diffraction spikes, fainter than the 4 cardinals. Same with both eyes.
Outside of the Mak is noticeably cooler to the touch, so may need insulation.
