I purchased a New Collitron Reticle off Russ at Denkmeier and he mistakingly sent a second one and charged me, he has refunded me for the cost of one plus postage but he asked if I would try and sell it for him rather than posting it back to the US.
If anyone has a Bino27 and is thinking of getting a Collitron Reticle and wants this one contact Russ at contact@denkmeier.com and arrange payment to him and I will post it on to you.
It is still in an unopened box.
Happy to post photos of my Reticle and the unopened box if asked.

G'day Alan. Have you felt the need to adjust the collimation much since you got the Binotrons, and have you tried using the methods described in the owners manual?
The Collitron sure looks like a nice tool, but I am wondering how much will you use it and how much easier will it be to collimate with it?
Thanks for your thoughts.

How do you find the Binotron's Alan? I'm contemplating purchasing a pair.

Allan I have only had the bino for a few months and so far I have not had the need to collimate it but having what I believe to be the best bino available and two Denk 21 eyepieces to complete the set I wanted the tool, if I never need to use it it will help with resale value.
Just for the need to see how it works I will set it up and test the bino for collimation.

Moh you will not be disapointed, but make sure you get the right eyepieces, don't skimp on poor quality EP's
This is what I have and I use the 21's most of the time, and the 6.7's for planets
2 x ES 6.7's

I checked Russ's YouTube video that you linked in your post. He says he sends them out very well collimated with the rings nipped up tight. As you say probably helps keep the value of the bino's by having the tool.
