At around $500 delivered, I'm not sure that's an experience I want. But if I ever win the lottery .....
You know you can collimate using a real star as long as seeing is reasonable? With practice, it can be done in ~5 minutes.
I first started with the Hubble Optics artificial star until I had practiced and knew what I was doing, and figured out how well collimation held, but don't use it that often anymore since I can do it "on the night" with equal ease.
The artificial star is useful for testing mechanical/optical alignment in the comfort of your own home - something that's more difficult to do in the field - and that's where I've used it most.
