collimation issue

What's the best way I can collimate my reflector being that I don't have a laser or any type of collimator? How can I make sure I did it properly?

Thanks in advance.

Visit this site ^ to make your own sight tube collimation tool. To find out how long to make it, multiply the inside diameter of the bottom of the pipe by your telescopes focal ratio.

And then a star test. if you wear glasses to correct astigmatism LEAVE THEM ON!!!!. My collimation was perfect but because i took my glasses off i wasn't able to see good during star test. Big improvement believe me!!!!..
