Thanks all for your comments , great stories and feedback
Hope more people respond as it’s an interesting topic and one that may open some doors for newbies considering to buy their first telescope.
Alex , an excellent report ,hits the nail on the head. Your comments and explanation dispels any concerns or myths people have about the process of “Collimation”
I found one important upgrade on my 6” and 8” newts that made collimation so much easier and that was to replace my existing cheap chinese primary mirror springs with locally made high quality springs ( Better Springs in Sydney ) Made all the difference in the world, my scopes stay in good collimation even being removed and re installed on their mounts , a quick 1 minute check with a laser and done !!
Thanks all and welcome more interesting stories and experiences
