Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts on the Meade laser collimator?
I'm going to clean the optics on my Meade 6600 reflector and I'd like to get the collimation done right. It's a bit pricey (cheaper at other outlets) but I figure I could loan it to other observers for gas money (JK). http://www.meade.com/accessories/premium/index.html Scroll down a little and it's there. Thanks, tbm

In my opinion laser collimators are highly over rated. I much prefer a Cheshire "eyepiece". It is much too easy to go very wrong with a laser. A great tool for going wrong with confidence to my way of thinking. I only carry the Cheshire in my tool box. It works well for me in scopes from F/4 to F/8.
