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!

Please count me in on the collimation/star testing tutorial at Snake Valley. I'm always unsure whether I have got it right!
