Can you detail why ?
In all the tests I have done with the laser and adapter for making concentric circles I have noted that little if any difference could be seen in the concentric rings and yet the collimation would be wildly out from the results using a Takahashi collimation scope. I followed your instructions to the letter and I got the same result each time.

Now I am happy to have it wrong and use the collimator rather than it become a counter weight and would welcome any tips you might have on how to get a very accurate result. I need to warn you, I am really a stickler when it comes to collimation.

In the end this is only my opinion, and I have found that using a Takahashi scope works best at solving collimation on these scopes. And then a final tweak on a out of focus star.
