Just interested to hear stories of good (or bad) pre-laser manual collimation  |
The laser will help you get that initial alignment started but visual collimation and start test are the icing on the cake. Don't rely solely on the laser. If you're good optically it is very likely your laser will be also bang on but the reverse is not true.
