Ritchie,
Everyone has the same problem. Its an art that takes time to perfect. I found this link very useful when I got my first dob. I still return to it now for a refresher.
Hope it helps

Rod

Thats the funny video of old mate tightening the primary collimation locks instead of the actual collimation screws.

Thought that may of been updated by now.

Cheers Kev.
