How to use CATSEYE Collimation tools

After recieving my ASA N12 F3.8 Newtonian Astrograph I needed a high quality and accurate method to precisely collimate the fast F3.8 optics, so I went with the CATSEYE range of passive collimatin tools.

I purchsed the following:

2.00"/15" Max.
TELECAT XL + INFINITY XL
COMBOSET PRO XL Kit


Which includes the TELECAT sight tube/cheshire tool and the INFINITY autocolimator.

While I wait for my FLI camera, collimating is a good thing to practise to fill in the time

I thought many on this group have Newtonians and might benifit from the instructions I have put at my web site describing how to use these tools?

Everything looks text book but the proof will be in the pudding once I can test it with a large CCD chip at the focal plain

Cheers

Mike
