Laser colimators are a necessity for the astronomer.But the colimator must be colimated or centred just check the position of the beam in a v block or a lathe then turn it on point it at the wall and rotate it . this way will tell if the beam is centred.
I hope i,m not giving you a headache.
But just for tonight set it up look through it, if it looks fuzzy its out , if its a good through the eyepiece your close.
With all my scopes I give myself plenty of daylight to collimate it takes me up to 10-15 minutes.
Still let me know how you get on.
Cheers Kev.
