I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here that have posted. I have followed the guides and tried collimating 100 times but am not sure exactly what I should be expecting out of my dob.
My primary had already been checked for pinching and had been adjusted. I have also followed Starkler's guide (although when following it I wasnt 100% sure what people had been sanding in their secondary holder, but mine seemed fine anyway), and it seemed to fix my out-of-focus-stars-looking-oval-shaped problem. Stars can be focused down to small blobs, but my planetry images are still average. I am thinking about taking my scope out of town this weekend to try it in dark skies to see if that makes a difference.
To be honest with you all, I am still not confident about my collimation. I have various methods printed from various websites, but all in all I am still not happy with it. I don't think I 100% understand some of the steps and I think it may be hurting collimation.
