You guys should try to collimate an SCT. Took me two hours last night just to get it almost perfect, and I do mean almost. There is always room for improvement. Also unfortunately laser collimators are no help, thats because the secondary is usually meant to be a little off for great collimation. If I wanted to collimate even better then I could collimate with a barlow in and get a lot better collimation.

Anyway, collimation does seem daunting but once done it will hold for a little while. You might like to check it each time you take the scope out, that what you will only need to do small adjustments each time.
