Precisely, Mr A. Mine turned out to be so sloppy in the focuser that a light touch (or even changing the 'scope's altitude) would cause the 'dot' to wander anywhere from the centre spot to close to the mirror's edge. I didn't even bother collimating the collimator as it was obviously totally useless. Hence the Cheshire which is fits nice and snugly.
If anyone wants a laser collimator and is prepared to pay the postage then mine is yours. You'll have to buy new batteries as I've (well my son did) used it as a pointer.
