That way colimating with the hotech laser would be collimating to the centre of the focuser hole and the hotech adapter would position the EP in the centre too. Without a centred EP there is no point in a centred laser
don't agree - I would rather have an e/p off to one side in a well collimated scope than an e/p off to one side in a badly collimated scope unless the e/p was "off" in exactly the same way as the laser (whih seems unlikely. I think(?)

ps red dwalf - like the idea of laying scope down on blanket but wife might think I'm up to something. Smeghead
