Merry Christmas, Tyrone.

I am no expert, but here are some links to videos from Orion that I have found useful for collimating with (1) a collimation cap and (2) with a laser collimator:

If you do not have any of these tools, you can still use the principles in the first video to get rough collimation to get started.

Note that new telescopes may already be pre-collimated - test the telescope out first before making any adjustments.

It looks like there may be good weather in Adelaide tonight.

Enjoy!
