  what is the alignment for the secondary for a C-14? Don't the numbers on
the front of the secondary "point" about to the Celestron sticker on the
side of the OTA, more or less?

Amount of variation allowable?

Also, what is the tension on the retaining ring for the secondary? It
should be turnable with little hand pressure not really not tight, correct?
