My advice is don't over think the collimation issue as it is essentially the same as any other scope. I had a VC200L that was badly out of collimation with every component played with. Using Vixens eyeball procedure and then a star test all was perfect with round stars across the field ( not the usual triangular stars). The same with the GSO RC scopes. Can all be done with the eyeball and then when close just use Al's collimation aid to get those stars absolutely round and it will be perfect. A mythology builds up about these scopes and collimation due to people posting that havnt spent the time to learn how to do it properly. A Tak scope will get you very close but it still needs a final touch up with a star test. It isn't an overly difficult task, just use the front collimation screws and you really won't have to play with anything else.
