I had the same problem...
The problem with laser collimaters is they assume that your focuser and how
the laser sits in the focuser, and is central and square to the optical train. If
your focuser is not aligned to the optical train, then like me you'll get problems
with a laser. I brought a laser collimater when I brought my scope could never
get it to work well, I ended up making a collimation cap and put the laser away.
When I got the Chesire, I could imediately see where the errors were. Although
it didn't tell my focuser was out of alignment I found that out another way. After
I aligned everything with the Chesire, the laser interestingly enough was almost
bang on.
