If your sight is veering off to one side then I suspect that one of your truss rods wasnt properly seated. Its a mistake I made a few times when I first got this scope.

As for the sight being blurry. Hmmmm thats a new one on me. The only thing I can suggest is it needs cleaning or had dew on it. A simple wipe off with a bit of toilet paper should be ok.

As for the mirror set up, I use a laser coliminator (Probably the best £40 I spent) Theres a small circle on the main mirror which the beam has to hit. If its missing this (as it often is by a small amount) I use the 3 small screws on the secondary mirror until the beam is in the circle. Im fairly new to this too so Im sorry I dont know how to do it without the laser. The good news is faint fuzzies dont need perfect colimination. Mars most certianly does though.

Apad: The battery is out on the finder already? Im still using the same battery that came with the scope nine months later despite leaving it on accidently for 2 days. Must have been a duff battery.
