Collimation is something that you should check each and every time you set up and use your reflector...depending on the situation it may not always need to be tweaked but to get the most out of your scope, you should check it.

Collimation is not something to be feared...with a little practice you will become an expert in no time. Get yourself a good set of tools and you will be right as rain and good to go.

There are many websites that offer lots of help in collimation...Andy Shotglass is one of them...alternatively, I'd bet that if you wandered back into the Astro-retailer that you bought your scope from that they would love to give you a tutorial on one of the display models...

Clear Dark Skies to you!
