Ok I have the little red laser dot of the laser collimator lined up with the circle on the primary mirror. That seems to be the easy part. Just for the record there is a little slop when I focus right in and out, especially all the way out. But it seems at least ok around where I typically use it. Also tightening the little screws around the focuser can even seem to make a difference (if that makes sense).
Oh well I seem to have things lined up at least to a point where the secondary mirror is at least pointing in the right direction.
The circles I see through the sight tube confuse me though. As I read through various tutorials and what not I seem to have different circles. Maybe I am looking at it all wrong

. Forgive the simple questions about collimating but if I don't ask I don't learn right?
