Thanks a lot for the advice ! I managed to make the secondary mirror face approximately the primary but what a pain it was, damn... I'll try to collimate it now but I'm scared it'll make everything move again. But anyway thanks again ! Yannoux

Hi everyone, First i'm sorry if I do not post this in the right section (I'm completely new to this forum and to astronomy). I just received my Skywatcher heritage 130p that I bought on Astroshop last week. The scope came in a nice package and everything looked fine at first. However, I noticed that the secondary mirror is completely loose. By this I mean that the part consisting of the central screw and the 3 collimating screws freely rotates around the bar that holds the secondary mirror to the overall structure of the telescope. I insist on the fact that it's not the bar that is moving (green arrow on the picture) but simply the support of the secondary mirror that rotates around this solidly attached bar (red arrow). Unless I'm missing something I dont' see any way of tightening this connection between these 2 pieces... should I return the scope or am I just being dumb ? Thanks a lot Greetings from France Yannoux
