Partial offset collimation

Hi there,

If you're going for a partial offset collimation as explained here in diagram C, my understanding is that the mechanical and optical axes of the telescope are different.

So if you pop in a laser collimator, should you get *two dots on the secondary? One outgoing, the other incoming? I'm only getting the one. Everythings lining up perfectly, but I want to make sure I havent just done a perfect collimation without the offset as in diagram A.
