Hi there,
I thought I'd start a new thread rather than tack things into the focus question.
But I got myself a laser collimator and checked out the video below (thanks Dujon). Well my collimation, according to said video, was Major Ugleage. Yep, the laser came straight out the front of the scope

well I made significant improvements to my collimation. I think I still have some ways to go to perfect the technique though. One thing I couldn't do was Step one. align the seconday mirror. That part seemed to still require a collimating cap. Well, I thought I would be able to do all the collimating with the laser collimator, but it seems that I still need a cap.
Is that right?
cheers
