I have an Intes MN56 that appears to be out of collimation. See the attached defocused star image.
Question?
Should I get a cheshire eyepiece or some other device or try to collimate it on a star? I have a $34 credit at Scopestuff that would pay for a cheshire...

OR

Should I just leave it alone?

When seeing is good clusters look great, The weather won't let me see Mars...
