I suppose when you're paying a fair bit of money to use a professional level setup you do assume that it will be collimated and aligned properly, and not have all of the problems that the amateur deals with in their own setup.. Having said that, as I mentioned in my previous post, I think its always better to have done these things yourself. When you've stacked your image, processed it, and had it printed and framed, you can look at it and think...
I bought the setup, ironed out glitches, got it aligned, framed and focused the shot how I wanted it, took the exposures, processed them, and produced the image that is now on my wall...
Its very fulfilling.
