Why Collimate?

This afternoon I spent a good part of the day working out how to collimate my scope. Never attempted this before and all I knew about the process was what I was able to gleam from sites like IIS and the Skywatcher manual.
It wasnt that my scope gave bad viewing, but after reading all the threads etc from people saying how it improves the image, well I just had to give it a go!
It turned out to be an easier process than I thought it would be (the manual that came with the scope was great) and the views tonight were just WOW!! Never seen Omega centauri like that before!
For anyone with any doubts as to wether to give it a go, all I can say is go for it, you wont look back.
