I hope someone will find this idea useful:
It is for permanent and fix mounting of laser-pointer to a telescope..
It is fully adjustable (adjusting screws are not shown, but you will have an idea where they go).
I will build this using 20mm channel aluminium extrusion, and couple of M4 screws and nuts and two springs (they will go between two parts, and screws will hold them together, acting as shafts for direction adjustment at the same time).

looks very similar to a meade set up for there red dot finders. the next problem is getting a decent laser! 35mW to be sure to be sure
