Hi DSB,
Terrific to hear of your progress. The first good view is certainly a great moment.
I'd better add in fairness that there are several distinct but effective methods of collimating a dob, all with their strong adherents.
My enthusiasm for the Barlowed laser method is based at least partly on a personal feeling that it is the most visually simple method and therefore possibly the one to start off with on first meeting this problem.
However I would be the last to claim that it is the most sensitive to small errors, and for this reason I bought myself an autocollimator recently.
So there will be a progression for you, and pretty soon you will have an instinctive feel for what is going on with the scope.
Cheers
