Collimate your telescope easily with a laser pointer.
Basic idea is you put a laser pointer in one end, it bounces off the secondary mirror and hits the center of the primary mirror. The beam then reflects off the primary mirror back up to the eyepiece. When properly collimated, the laser should bounce right back into the laser pointer hole.
The eyepiece size is 1.25"
Here's a video showing how to use a commercial version.

This is a bit of a test. I'm no
