That would appear to take a lot of know-how I do not have.

To tell you the truth, after reading this:

on collimation, I will probably just have it done for me
professionally. I am somewhat mechanically inclined,
but I would think the margin for error here is quite small.

Thanks. I bought the Skyquest 8" Dobsonian and compromised.

You might also think about turning to the ATM field, while it took me 4 years to
gather together the needed parts from people on the Internets, I was able to put
together a nice F8 8inch dob which I named Babylon 8 and because I had a lot of
help with it, I ended up spending less than $100.00USD for all it's parts. My
case is not the norm, but if you do the work yourself, you might save some money
on your scope and you'll know it inside out too.
