SOLD: Laser Collimator

[AstroJunk (Jonathan)]

As new 1.25" Southern Cross laser collimator including alignment device (an allen key).

$55 postage (to Oz) included. Five bucks less if your in Brizzie and pick it up from the CBD.

Why? - I've just bought a 2" barlowed kendrick at ten times the price!

I've never owned a collimating eye piece so sorry if this is a silly question but can the whole collimating job be done with this alone or is there something else that you need?

I have already been collimating with a plain "film canister" sight tube but I want to get more precise collimation, is this what I need or will I get better results with a cheshire eye piece? Or is this what they call a "cheshire/laser" collimator?

I'm definitely interested if this is what I need so dibs on it for now.

You MUST own a laser Collimator (what a salesman ).

A cheshire/sight tube is great for getting the secondary/focusser alligned - some might say it's all you need.

The laser really come into its own with dobs in the field - not only can you get a great level of accuracy but you can do the job in moments, by yourself, in the dark.

(first dibs noted!)
