I have been told by Takashashi that collimating their air spaced triplets requires specialist equipment. Maybe they are saying that so it goes back to them, but I doubt it as they have a reputation to preserve. Takashashi actually have a small collimating scope, this is fine for the doublets, but will NOT work with their triplets. When one spends lots of $$$ on a scope, I reckon "horses for courses" applies. Leave it to the specialists to collimate, after all if they stuff up, they have to fix it. As I said previously with this sort of thing, they pay for it unless it is caused by the instrument being mishandled/mistreated by the owner, obviously in this case that is not so.

Cheers
