I have collimated this telescope by using a webcam and the software "Metaguide". Got the telescope to a point that "Metaguide" would displayed a diffraction patten which is common to commercially avaliable SCT. So I would say that the telescope passed a star-test base on my reading of "Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes by H Suiter"
The scope is currently on a EQ6, the plan was to upgrade the mount later on. I have now decide to change direction and down grade my ambtions. I would very much like to see it go to a good home.

Definitely more manageable than my big Cass. project though 
What is the scope star-test like?
I'm not in a position to make an offer just curious...
Good luck.
