In the orientation you have, the secondary needs lowering while the top edge is rotated toward you.

 

Amazing you can determine from my average camera pic. Big cup of coffee and check hammer secured away and begin micro adjustments. Big thanks.

Not sure what happened. Though I sent reply and attached two images. checked just now and don't see any evidence of thst! Anyways, pretty sure I have completed collimation and many thanks. It appears to star test I'll need a bit more power. 2x Barlow next on my list to be able to go from 48x to 96x.

Mmm.  Don't forget the collimation myths;)

You're there already. You may now replace the hammer in its rightful place.

Cheers

Thanks. I think I will review the myths once hammer sold on eBay! Saw my first galaxy last night (albeit pretty undefined with 48x power) all thanks to your brilliant guidance. Many thanks.
