ok

the barlowed laser and a chesire assess the same thing, and should always agree, unless there some anomaly in how the device(s) fits into the drawtube. Even miscollimation of the laser beam shouldn't affect the laser when used in barlow mode....but miscollimation of the primary beam only (without barlow attachment) will affect how it enables you to align the secondary mirror. So, perhaps your primary laser is off collimation itself...Still doesn't handily explain everything....

I've only just got the laser collimator, so the problem has only started now.
