Another question: I was looking at collimation; and it looks as though you need a laser collimator for it to be a one man job with a 10". Is this correct? If so, I will get one of those too.
You don't strictly need a laser collimator. But it certainly makes life easier. Collimation becomes an easy one man job, and a 2-3 min job. It will also give good-enough collimation for visual use assuming your secondary mirror is correctly aligned to the focuser already.
