Who here purchased a laser collimator and found...that your previous collimation attempts by whatever other optical (looking through eyepiece etc) method was pretty darn good and when you put the laser collimator in, you didn't need to make any adjustments at all (or only very, very slight ones)?
Funny you should ask this. I collimated my newt without any tools at all, I just eyeballed it every which way and checked the shapes of the stars on the CCD image. I took delivery of an Infinity XLK autocollimator yesterday and was surprised to find it was almost perfect.
