They don’t hold collimation all that well, but it should take less than 10 minutes to get one set up and collimated, and regardless of how well they hold collimating, it’s not a bad idea to do it every observing session anyway. I haven’t tried the spring replacement trick, but it sounds good if you’re adept at tinkering. Depending on the size, a plastic shower cap does a good job for a dust cap.
