Agree take all apart and reassemble. 1 tip i now do is set every thing up witht he scope facing the floor and assemble up this way no way of missaligning threads or have gravity pulling down on the train of spacers etc. Ie when i set up i have Altair 80 triplet facing down then add the planostar then a filter wheel then a spacer then the trius 694, all weight is pushing down through the threads and scope and not at an angle. I also got the exact spacings from Altair for the FFR and starlight then measured for correct spacers which stay with the starlight only.
