Simply brilliant - and a 2" machined barrel that is tight as a drum in your focuser. The laser is locked in place and is guaranteed not to go out of collimation itself.

I have watched the meticulous planetary guys Bird and Rumples at work and the feeling I got was that the laser was final check after the cateyes.

Is this what most guys feel....sometimes i get the feeling that guys dont trust lasers.

I am speaking from no experience with either tool and face the eventual choice of cateyes, bloody good guarenteed laser as mentioned above or both??
