Laser Collimator mod

I have found with the laser collimator there is quite a lot of slop in the eye piece holder and when you tighten the screws they push the collimator out of line. So what I have done is put two layers of sellotape on the shank of the collimator and it is now a perfect fit in the holder.

That's a cool low cost mod [emoji106] If you wanted to ensure that it was perfectly central (key in collimation) to could purchase a self centering adapter to place in the focuser. That way you are safe in the knowledge that all is perfectly centred and your Collimation is spot on [emoji106]
