More Accurate than the Normal Collimation Tool
Collimation eyepiece is more accurate than the normal collimation tool, can help you better enjoy star watching-fun. Suitable for Newtonian Telescopes.
How To Collimate Telescope With Cheshire Eyepiece:
The view through the Cheshire eyepiece during the collimation will differ between telescopes. For fast telescopes (f5 and below), it will be little off-center, and for the slow telescopes (f5 and above), the view will be more centered and easier to collimate.
1.The goal here is to center the primary mirror reflection in the secondary mirror and reflection from the Cheshire with the secondary mirror.
2.To achieve that, you have to use the adjustment screws on the secondary and primary mirrors while looking through the Cheshire eyepiece collimator tool.
