You could get a new tube I guess, or the nuclear option of a whole new scope...



Hi Richard,
Moving the primary down 15mm and also the secondary down 15mm will
keep the focal point the same -
it will only fix the incorrect offset -
which is what I want.
Note: this telescope was taking pretty good pictures
even though it was set up incorrectly.
