KG8, First I must say that I'm not an Astromony fanatic. I love getting out there & looking & searching for objects, & I like to have good gear, but when it comes to the technical stuff I'm greatful when someone else does it for me. In addition, when I buy something of reputation I expect it to be good.
Last weekend a very generous club member at the MPAS slapped a colomation laser into it. (I didn't have the visual back with me to put the laser directly into the OTA). Colomated perfectly until the focuser was "spun" on it's axis. Was then WAY out. After investigation it seemed that the inner focus tube was actually not perfectly aligned with the outer body. Therefore creating a misalignment.
