I did try to read the Astrobaby article, but it's more confusing than other articles I've read. I tried the cheshire, but couldn't do the step of putting the paper blocking the primary as my hand won't fit past the vanes.
I did manage to get the alignment screws to move, so after much fiddling I did centre spot the laser. Spent a lot of time with the laser circling the centre spot. It seemed very hard to get it to go inside the spot, but I got thee eventually. Once it was there though, even just putting the allen key into the screws bumped the laser out again. Also there are lots of spots in the focuser that can move around too, so whether it's truly aligned remains to be seen when I can get outside and spot an actual star, but I still have more setup routines to go through yet before I get that far.
