Question Collimation !! =| . any advice please !

Hey guys,

Whats the score on collimation ?

Ive done lots of googling and come up with answers at both ends of the spectrum as such :

1. just start taking your scope apart and sticking tape onto the mirror and such. (i'm not sticking anything to the mirror). needs a collimation eye piece (My scope didnt come with one)

or

2. purchase collimation equipment. which im kinda left wtf that the scope didnt come with that seemingly important piece of tac.

Ill end up buying collimation tools but wondered if there was a way i could collimate the scope today.

Also, any advice on cleaning the mirrors and eye pieces would be great.

Thanks for all your help.

(windy/cloudy last night - spent 3 hours glaring at the moon =P)
