This was more than enough but was constrained due to the existing screws.<br /><br />If cutting it, I wrote about that I'd use about an inch (25mm or so), which I think I'd read on one of the astronomy forums. Double check this before cutting ;)Peter Cockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233221181317137855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7275378574543326675.post-41534987165078415542014-11-04T22:27:36.563+00:002014-11-04T22:27:36.563+00:00Sorry should of asked how much did you move the mi...Sorry should of asked how much did you move the mirror up the tube or how much would cut off lol thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187240678412219994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7275378574543326675.post-50484466219621073812014-11-03T15:55:32.123+00:002014-11-03T15:55:32.123+00:00I changed how the mirror was mounted in order to m...I changed how the mirror was mounted in order to move it - the diagrams tried to explain this.<br /><br />If you have a suitable saw and drill, cutting the tube is perhaps easier.

I think I need to learn how to re-collimate the mirrors for best results, which I'll try after summer is over and the nights are darker.Peter Cockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233221181317137855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7275378574543326675.post-36505610469877428282013-06-24T21:35:33.226+01:002013-06-24T21:35:33.226+01:00Hi,
