As part of my real work, as oppossed to my day job, I purchased an MN56. I have always wanted one and so felt my soul would not rest from it's worldly burden until I had purchased one.
It should arrive in about two weeks. Having a realistic appraisal of my tendancy to purchase and try out scopes I bought it used. It is about two years old, in good shape, and has the new style crayford focuser, the lighter clamshell, and the vented collector ring. I am really looking forward to it.
Given the trauma of shipping even with good packing I am anticipating the possibility of needing to collimate it. Collimating makes me nervous. It is just below the "D" word (Dentist)on my anxiety list. I had a Portaball at one point and did use a laser collimator on it but the mirror was marked making it fairly easy.
Basically I am looking for tips or pointers on collimating this scope.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Best,
Paul
