When i look at something - ie planet or star for instance, i get the
reflection of the four stick thingy that sits at the otherend of the
tube always over the centre of the object im trying to look at.

Are you using an eyepiece (a small lens that goes in the little tube
(focuser drawtube) that sticks out of the side of the scope near the
small mirror (at 10 0'clock in the image on the page you linked to))?

Best,
Stephen
