I'll certainly be using it to properly collimate my Mewlon. It'll be a real boon as once I have it tracking, I can fiddle with the Bobs Knobs at the front while staring at the monitor without having to wizz back around to the EP all the time. It can be done in real time, which is an absolute bonus.

Al, if I may, could I suggest that it may be useful if you put another set of static crosshairs inside a scalable box like the circles (optional, and maybe selectable via an on/off button) right in the middle of the screen. This could indicate that that we're looking at the airy disc on-axis? This would help with Dall Kirkhams such as the Mewlon as even slightly off axis the collimation is pointless. We could position the entire window centrally and resize the box to gauge whether we were sitting on centre within the sensor display area. Idea?
