Glad you enjoyed yourself. have you had any luck with improving the collimation on the 16" yet? Just a thought but Bintel sell a combo sight tube and cheshire (see

and here is a good guide to collimation that I found helpful

There is also an article in AS&T this month. My philosophy with collimation is that is is possible to spend too much time on it tweaking a getting it just so. With a visual scope it is pretty hard to tell the difference between a nearly perfect job and an actually perfect job!
Having said that, your scope is fairly fast at f4.5, so it will always benefit from being well collimated.
