I was going to suggest a collimation "experimentation seminar" at GSSP. I think there would be
lots of interested people there...

Also, Albert, I agree that it can become kind of an absurd pursuit, getting "prefect" collimation.
There is a point of greatly diminishing return, for visual applications. And, as said before, the
slower the scope, the more tolerant it becomes.
