Every time I'm using the scope, I quickly defocus on a star, and make sure I get a nice even donut shape. That combined with the fact that I have zero complaints about the viewing lead me to believe that the scope is collimated well enough for visual observing. It's a 150mm and my research has lead me to believe that they rarely go out of collimation, but I am prepared for the fact that it may one day.
