Company 7?

I would get the laser collimator. The DOB would need to be assembled and
would be time consuming for them to collimate. And you'll have to do it
again anyway when you receive it.

I'm new here, but I've been looking at getting an 8" Orion Dob as my
starter
scope, and Company 7 is one of the sources I was looking at. It seems
that
for the Dobs, they charge $95 extra for their check and collimate service.
As a newbie, should I pay them this extra, or should I take my hundred
extra
dollars and apply it to the purchase of a laser collimator?
