I also did the rough collimation as you stated and it was hard to tell if the circles where concentric, but they did look the same on all sides the best as I can tell. I did this inside the house,maybe I need to take the scope outside in the briter lite as you stated. As far as the laser I just looked at the the red dot though the corrector plate and as I replaced each screw with the bob's knobs I adjusted each till the dot was where It started at. When I bought the scope the man at the store did it that way and adjusted the screws to move the dot a little. I think he through the collimation off because I could not get saturn to focus clearly at higher mag. I never knew about a star test so I didn't check it when it was bought home from the store...Thanks to people like you us newbie's are learning alot,Thanks again for taking the time to help...Roger
