I don't do it every time but usually after a certain timeout period (a week or two), assuming I'm 100% sure I've handled the scope very carefully and a quick unfocused star test didn't show anything obviously wrong.
What I don't get is when a retailer tells you how they collimated your scope before shipping it interstate to you. Well, cool .. but all that effort was undone by the courier when they did a rugby throw on your gear or ran over it on their forklift.
