no need for a collimator with a SCT. Defocus on a bright star and look for concentric circle donut. If the shadow of the secondary mirror is perfectly in centre, it's in collimation. If it's not, its out of collimation. Use two of the collimation screws loosening one tightening the other until it is a perfect donut shape.
