Peter, do you have a shiny metal ball - ball bearing type - lying around?
If you do, simply place it in the sun 25m or so away from your scope. You can then use this as an artificial star for collimation. You'll see an airy disk and rings in and out of focus.
Alternatively you could purchase an artificial star generator, but that's just one more bit of equipment.
