My CATSEYE Collimators have arrived.

Finialy after 4 weeks they have arrived!
They're BIG & Shiny. Very well made I must say, Firm and solid.

INFINITY XL 2" autocollimator
TELECAT XL 2" adjustable sight tube/cheshire

The pair are sold together as a set called 'Combo Pro XL' from Catseye Collimation. http://www.catseyecollimation.com/ They both come with their own allan key and spare screws. Also comes with spotting triangles and template.

Now I can spend some quality time adjusting my scope. The sight tube I have been using is not up to the job. It will be interesting to see how much the 12"Lightbridge will flex using the autocollimator.

Hi Matt,

Interested on how it goes. What were you using previously?

Cheers.
