Question Saxon Laser Collimator/Barlows Combo Problem


Hi,
I don't know if anyone can help me on this problem I have but I went to use a barlows x2 with my Saxon Laser Collimator and discovered to my amazment that the Barlows reflected a dot back to the grid on the barlows which is a bit off to one side.

This very apparent even with the barlows and collimator out of the eyepiece??.

I can not get the dot centred on the return when I try manaver the laser in the barlows by tilting etc. Does this mean the Laser is out or.. is the Barlows to blame as it is a cheap one??

This nearly made me adjust my main mirror before realising what was happening.

Can anyone help me on this or advise me please?
