I've heard similar comments before about other members photo's on here, and I am not sure what to look for in a photo to tell.

Hey Rex,
Then you must have super awesome beginner's luck
I can tell the collimation is good because the stars have very little distortion to them at the edges. It's different to trailing/tracking issues because if you have poor tracking, *all* stars will have the same amount of smear and in the same direction. With poor collimation on the other hand, the amount of smear or distortion will vary across the image.
