Farpoint 2 Inch Cheshire Collimator
#FP261
$74.95
Farpoint 2 Inch Cheshire Collimator is a simple tool that helps align the optical axes of the mirrors or lenses of a telescope, a process called collimation. This precision-machined, red anodized alignment tool for 2″ apertures is practically indestructible and requires no batteries.
A Cheshire eyepiece or Cheshire collimator consists of a peephole that is inserted into the telescope focuser in place of the eyepiece. Ambient light falls on the brightly painted oblique back of the peephole. Images of this bright surface are reflected by the mirrors of the telescope and can thus be seen by a person peering through the hole. A Cheshire eyepiece contains no lenses or other polished optical surfaces. For Newtonian Reflectors only.
Includes a mirror spotting template and triangle center spots to help simplify the process of center spotting a primary mirror.

Sometimes your car needs an alignment. So does your Newtonian telescope! Collimation helps the optical rays entering the scope stay parallel and focused, ensuring minimal distortion and optical aberrations as the light propagates. Farpoint has a variety of collimation tools including our custom laser collimators, which have a lifetime guarantee to never go out of alignment. Farpoint Collimation tools are designed only for Newtonian and Dobsonian Reflecting Telescopes. They are not designed for Refractors, Catadioptric Telescopes, or SCT's.
