Hi Taxman!!
Yep!..I know the feeling..
But here's a few helpful hints..
If you've just begun to learn colimation..find a nice quiet, clean spot away from all distractions if possible.
Have adequate lighting.
Have the optical tube secured horizontally whilst doing the work.
Wear a cap to stop any sweat, etc, from falling onto the optics.
Make sure all tools are clean and have a hole in the handle with a strap that can be worn around your wrist.
Be sure to take a break, a cuppa and refresh your hands.
It does get easier each time!
Cheers!
