Wow what a cornucopia of information, I've just woken up and need a coffee but I'm re energised today, the 2mm Allen key slides into the 3 holes and recessed deeply are the 3 "missing screws" that alluded me.
That combined with the links images and how to, I should have no problem now.
It sounds so obvious, I had already dropped a screwdriver down it and my heart sank, luckily it was a small one.. But yeah, horizontal from now on!
Yeah, completely correct with the allen key, if I wasn't so overwhelmed at the time, I should have just shined a torch down the recessed holes. I watched that video around Christmas time but was like a fish out of water, now a lot more phrases and terms make sense to me so should be less like decoding the hieroglyphs.. I hoped it just arrived collimated and used it anyway.. βΊοΈ
Thank you all for taking the time, I'm hoping to update you all later with the results of the astounding success.
Really appreciate all the support, thank you!!
Update 1: Just realised I've been calling the dust cap cover "the spider". π€
Update 2: I think ive collimated the secondary mirror sufficiently, now I'm just trying to align the primary so that the dot appears in the center, I've got it close but needs more tweaking. ππ
