Aperture fever has never bitten. Glad about that too.

Good luck with it. Seems even the high end OS's have collimation issues too.
Hi Lewis - depends on the scope - I own a mixed bag but in there I have a Tak Mewlon 250S - That scope arrived in perfect collimation after a trip from Japan to America to NZ and I have carted it around to various dark sites over the last 5 years on the back of a 4 x 4 vehicle and the collimation has never moved - in all that time I have never had to touch it or even had to realign the finderscope.
