Just had a go in my Observatory at collimating my new RC8 using a real star. Pain the but actually. Viewing was poor, star kept moving out of frame when i made slight adjustments and i needed to be contortunist to bend around the scope to hold the hex keys and view the monitor. There's got to be a simple way, surely?

I've seen plenty of ads for artifical star collimators. Sounds a lot more convenient and apparantly you dont need to wait for a clear night for steady viewing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
