Firstly, collimation has to be a huge amount out before it seriously degrades an image.
Secondly, I have never seen Jupiter described as orange, so I think you may have been looking at Antares which is nearby.
Thirdly, You shouldn't have to tweak the collimation every time you use
the scope. SW dobs[especially collapsibles] hold collimation very well.
For visual use I check mine every few months. For AP every few weeks if it
hasn't been shaken up a lot in the interim.
