Janos, I didn't notice the hole either! and no I wasn't using it...
See your eye is not enough. I could see my eye in the focuser when I got my dob, but the collimation was still way out.

Use the dustcap with the pinhole in it (in a brightly lit room or outside in the day time). It'll help keep your line of site centred in the focuser.
