Daniel...

The moon probably won't come out too blurry from bad collimation, If you take a shot of a star field you'll find that the stars on the outside are shaped like tennis rackets.

Collimating a scope just makes all the light it gathers bounce back into the right spot, but even if it's out your still going to get some light in.
