I ended up forking out money for CCDInspector. Hopefully it will help. It tells me i am 8% out of collimation, so i got close by doing the out-of-focus star method. Just not close enough.

Hopefully tomorrow the weather stays decent and ill try and get it collimated. If the process works well i'll see what i can do about yours - assuming i get out there next weekend/week after.
