Hi everyone.
I'm the proud daddy of a Skywatcher 10 inch Dob. Bought it second hand at the right price. Just spent all morning trying to collimate it with my assistant's help. Not sure it is right but I have read heaps so tonight will be the crunch. Now my problem is with the focuser. It slops around the tube so I got busy with some cardboard and packed it but I don't think it will last long. Can anybody suggest a suitable remedy (other than buying a Crayford). Maybe that will be the best option eventually.

Welcome to IIS Hotkey.

As for your focuser, have a look at Tom Hole's site for his tune up of an R&P focuser.

Wow that was a quick service. I'm new to this so I'm stumbling around getting to know how to use this site. Shall check that site out.
