I tend to agree with this statement. Bottomline is that if you buy a cheap, yet adequate 4-6mm eyepiece, it will do more for your collimation than a laser.


Using a high mag, thought not useful for visual purposes (i.e. too cheap), it does an exceptional job at determining how on-axis/off-axis your optical train is.


I've used this technique for decades and it never fails.
