Hi all, ,
That was perfect timing, collimation and clear weather, we spent some time collimating the scope using my own 2" kendrick collimator, scope is now working very well at low and high magnifications.

Roy, thats a fine scope you got there, it'll serve you well for many years to come. The collimator I used is a kendrick 2" standard laser, looking at their website, they don't seem to be as big into them as they used to be, here is the page, its not how I remember it several years ago, not as extensive,

It states its a SCT collimator, I have found it works perfectly fine on a dob.

Cheers Dave..

I got my hands on some of that
Epoxy adhesive, so myself and Daz
will give it a go over the weekend.
As for the Kendrick collimator, I'm
definitely going to invest in 1,

Thanks again for all ur help.
