Hi Tom,
I too have just got the Kendrick Laser and I had to do collimation
without my van Slyke focuser, which would alter the reference point due
to the way the laser (adapter) is locked on the focuser. An adapter in
the focuser attaches to the laser adapter and the focuser adapter is
fastned by two screwes, which disturb the original laser position....
good luck!
