Hey all,

Sorry to bring back an old post - hope somebody can assist..

I'm having a bit of a suitation calibrating my Lightbridge today - I followed Calibos (Keith) information here regarding the 'barlow & orion lasermate deluxe and managed to sucessfully have the 'donut' inside the *45 faceplate..

When I reinserted collinmator in by itself without the barlow it is way out of alignment ( laser is out of the secondary mirror ), so I took it out and put the barlow back in and the 'donut' is still perfectly inside the orion lasermate's *45 'circles' in the faceplate.

I know the lasermate isn't very accurate and it always gives a different reading each time i take it out and back in again, but in this case the donut /barlow collinmating is almost the same position on the faceplate when inserted in again..

Hope this make sense... I just dont know what collinmating reading to believe (barlow method or the standalone), any advice?
