I find with focusser slop that if I take the scope off the mount, lay it flat on a blanket with the focusser pointing stright up, that with the weight of the collimator it sits better in the focusser without gravity trying to pull it down, I know that some collimators can be fairly heavy


SCOPE:- Celestron 6 SE XLT (Bobs Knobs fitted)
MOUNT:- Celestron CG-5 GT goto
EYEPIECES:- Revelation Eyepiece & Filter set
CAMERA:- Meade DSI PRO 2 + Philips spc900nc webcam with Baader uv/ir filter
EXTRAS:- Solar filter, Antares FR1 0.5 & f/6.3 sct focal reducers
