OCAL Electronic Collimator

Has anyone tried one of these yet?

https://www.telescopi-artesky.it/en/...517139301.html

"OCAL electronic collimator - The revolutionary way to collimate your instrument is with OCAL, the new smart device that allows you to collimate your Newtonian telescope via your computer in a simple, precise and fast way."

I think I also noticed an RC version whilst trying to investigate further, but cannot find the link now.

Cheers

Dennis

Yes I have tried it and no I haven't tested the results yet

Because of my unique situation that I have I cannot swing the scope off the mount in the dome as I have it g clamped to the pier. My other mount is in my pants at the dry cleaners in Sydney

It looks like Sidereal Trading is now a local distributor, although at the time of writing this, they are not yet in stock.

https://www.siderealtrading.com.au/p...r-pro-version/

It looks like Sidereal Trading will be supplying the PRO version of the OCAL Electronic Collimator.

I have put my order in.

Cheers
