Thanks for fixing that link gb.
I can just make out the circle of the centre mark. It was a little off compared to the non barlowed laser. The heavy clouds have returned for a while so no further testing until I can see some stars!
Cheers

With your one the beam will be going back through the barlow again messing up the mirror centre spot shadow pattern (I think).
