Angry horrible laser collimator - how does everyone else do this??

I don't think I will ever buy another laser collimator

I have just spent a couple of hours looking at my collimation as I had been relying on a laser to get it right....

well - even a cursory glance down the focuser without the eyepiece shows that it was about as far from being collimated as you can get!

So I made myself a collimation cap and have redone it visually. Now it looks right, but I will have to test it tonight and see how close it is.

How do other people collimate their newts??

I am going to post the results from testing the collimation of my collimator to show how horrible it is....a warning to other unwary newt owners.
