Hey, Eric, if you really go to town on it we may appease the Sky Gods to leave the sky clear for 3 months! At the rate of 1 week per inch apeture, 3 months sounds about right!

Collimation is VERY easy and straight forward once you see what is actually going on. It is just re-aligning the mirrors. It can be done just using a bright star. Once you get the hang of it, the process takes only a couple of minutes and you'll be rewarded with the best image your scope can provide!
