All budgets can be met with a little effort...
Remember there are two mirrors that need to be aligned...the primary and secondary...
Some tools work better for some tasks...
A plastic film container with a hole drilled in the bottom will work a treat.
An Orion collimating eyepiece (or similar name) can be picked up at Bintel (maybe others)
Or lastly a laser tool of some type (many on offer).
I am a fan of the Orion collimating eyepiece...rock solid and never needs batteries or alignment...I use mine most every time out.
I also have a Catseye System and a Howie Glatter laser and tu-blug...both of which give outstanding results.
That said, a film canister with a hole drilled in the bottom will do a decent job in a pinch.
