CATSEYE Collimation has announced its new “wired” video BLACKCAT XLV Cheshire System for telescope collimation.
As the CATSEYE team notes, “The new CATSEYE Collimation Wired Video Collimation System brings the precision of passive-tool collimation into the world of digital collimation.” The “visual by eye” CATSEYE collimation tool has been replaced with a color CCTV camera integrated into the new BLACKCAT XLV Cheshire.
Now the axial alignment visual queues, familiar to those users of the CATSEYE Collimation System, are displayed on a hand-held (or scope-mounted) LCD monitor eliminating of trips to and from the focuser to assess the “trial-and-error” adjustments. Users can now dynamically watch the Cheshire visual queues, parallax-free, in real time at the rear of a telescope as they adjust the primary mirror’s tilt adjustment screws to perfect collimation.
