First telescope heritage 150/750

Looking to buy a first telescope, saw the heritage 150 was recommended. Should I be scared of collimation? What do I need to buy to focus it properly? Do you need to collimate it before every use? Thanks

Good scope yes.

Collimation might be hard at first but you'll get the hang of it.

You'll need a collimation cap for collimating (most cheapest option, but still good)

And no it does not need collimating every time you use it IF being careful with it

Thank you. Are collimation caps universal? What should I get?

I am pretty sure it goes into the focuser. So see what size your focuser is and buy it that size. The heritage 150p should have a 1.25" focuser

But maybe wait for some other people to confirm. You can ask directly in #🤓-ask-a-nerd or just wait here

Does the cap need a mirror in it? If not I can 3D print a cap with a pinhole in it, will it be fine?

No mirror

Idk
