I would be very wary of anyone here collimating refractors, I had been recommended a mob in Sydney by the Tak distributor as I had a TOA130 out of collimation due to getting a strong bump in my observatory. This mob totally stuffed the scope up and it eventually had to be sent back to Japan to get the collimation done properly. The whole lens cell assembly had to be disassembled and re-built in the tak factory after these clowns performed their dissection. I know the tak is different from the ED80, but the principal is similar, horses for courses, dont let amateurs get hold of refractors, it will end in tears, expensive ones as well.
