Collimation tools (split from Lightbridge Updates)

Hi Astronut,

The scope sounds very impressive. I am a newbie and just wanted to know what tools you will be using to collimate the scope. I went into Astro-Opticals and they basically said to me don't bother with a cheshire eyepiece or site tube and go straight for a laser collimator. I allways had the impression these were the basic tools to use and master?

Just wanted to know your thoughts or anybody elses. He also said something about putting a mark on the cover of the primary mirror so when the laser projects back up you don't get all those reflections.

Apologies now if I haven't clarified myself here .
