Laser Collimating a Newton Skywatcher CF-10" f/4

Dear Friends,
I've collimated my 10" f/4 using a method that I derived, using only a barlowed laser from Howie Glatter and a Cheshire from Fairpoint Astro.

The image shown below was obtained through the Fairpoint Cheshire hole after the collimation procedure has been carried out.

I always used a star test to properly collimate my Newt so, for this method in day light, I would like to hear what you guys think about the result shown in the picture.

Thank you,
Fernando
