Hi Scott,

They sell a lot of 'em but I wouldn't be buying one. Let me repeat my earlier comment:-

The unit you are discussing costs $99. The Astrosystems unit we are recommending costs $230; and IMO is without question worth the extra $130.

If you are on a budget the EZ Collimator is one of the best of the 1.25" versions. I have also had one of these for about 7 or 8 years and it is going strong. It is a quantum leap quality wise over the cheaper units.

A year or 2 ago they used to cost about $130 but I am not sure if you can still buy them. Someone here may know where to source the EZ collimator.

Cheers,
John B
