I show some work on the telescope tube, as well as rough alignment to find the location of the primary mirror cell within the tube. You can see that the secondary mirror is not a perfect circle, I may have to re-install the spider or better align the secondary so that it becomes a perfect circle in the images. I was able to focus on objects over 3 miles away. Getting closer, but still have some quirks to fix.
