yes thanks i got that... i also have a skymax 127 which is great for Saturn. I would like some info on shifting the mirror in the mini dob and colmination technics for it you have any info??? the booklet has NOTHING mentioned for it

You can also use the collimation screws to bring the mirror a bit up the tube but that can be tricky to do and will only add a little infocus.

Do you have any instructions on this??? my colmination is deffo out and i can see i need to raise the mirror but seems to be nice and round but off centre... i noticed the stalk to raise the mirror and the 3 screws on back of mirror i guessed for colmination?

will i need a colminating tool???

i have one of these scopes and use my SW 2x deluxe barlow from my skymax 127 with 10 and 25mm SW EP's NO issues. Its a nice quick grab and plonk on your car roof scope.... great for the moon but so far useless on saturn :-( I do however find im nearly always fully wound IN on the focusser. I'll double check tonight and let you know

Ok i checked for you late last night regarding focussing with the 10mm and x2 barlow (both SW) and i can confirm i CAN focus on the moon NO issues and VERY pleasing views.... I then turned my attention to Saturn.... well i can get a crisp clear bright slighlty larger star... I DO NOT see the rings its just too small for me to be able to see them.

Now i wonder if mine has issues??? how big did you see saturn??? what lens blah blah blah... I will mention i didnt let mine cool but then they are tiny so didnt think it would need much and my skies are polluted with light :-(
