Collminating a Newtonian focuser

Does anyone have an easy way to collminate a focuser on a newt?

I've just put a moonlight on a 10" dob and basically used a set of calipers to estimate the focuser center, removed the secondary and pointed the focuser at the estimated spot on the other side of the tube. It was out quite a bit.

Is there a better/more accurate way to do it?
