Collimating a HyperStar

I would be interested to hear the preferred methods of others for collimating a HyperStar. I flirted with one briefly with my old C14 but never really cracked the collimation. Not to be deterred, I am now fitting it (with a suitable modifications) to my new EdgeHD 1400 and this time am determined to persevere.
I gather that the out-of-focus star technique is not very useful and that the best way is with an in-focus star. Any variations on either theme? And other ideas or suggestions?
