Yes, if the laser collimator is out of alignment you're going to mis-align the scope. This is an important thing to fix (and regularly check). Also, check for the proper location of the primary's centre spot. The one on my son's 8" GSO was off by about 5mm. And while I had the cell out I also loosened the clamps to get rid of three-lobed stars…

Cheers
