Hi Eric

You said:

"two different Cheshire tools show the scope to be collimated and a star test is very close to “collimated”."

This is exactly what I have the problem with laser and Cheshire. Even if I do collimation close to good enough with laser collimator when checked with Cheshire it shows to be perfect. Then I do spot on collimation with laser and Cheshire shows again good just as before hand. How can then some people claim that Cheshire is better then laser? What am I missing here? My eye sight is very good, no glasses etc.

Especially adjusting secondary mirror, I just can't see how can anyone adjust "tilt" better with Cheshire?

I got both of them, and use both of them, but if I have to use only one then it would be laser collimator.

BTW, thats great jig you got there

cheers
