Thank you Michael.
I sometimes feel like a broken record with my exhortations to beginners to a) Not let collimation freak you out and b) not let collimation put you off buying a newt/dob.
A little practice and seeing the process at work also helps! Unfornately there is a lot of collimation advice on the net and some is of dubious quality. The other isue is that what is OK for one scope may not be suitable for another. A 130mm f6.9 will be perfectly happy collimated with an old film canister, but my 20" f5 needs at least a cheshire and a confirmation tweak from my Howie Glatter barlowed laser and my 8" f4 works OK with just the Cheshire but if I do a final tweak with the non barlowed laser that seems to give the best result at the EP.
