TS-Optics 2" DeLuxe LED collimator for RC telescopes and refractors

TS RCKOLLI 2" LED collimator for almost all telescope types

The collimator is compatible with almost all common optical systems and allows precise collimation during the day. In particular, we recommend the collimator for all Cassegrain telescopes such as Schmidt-Cassegrain, RC, Dall-Kirkham and similar telescope types. The collimator is very precise and the collimation result is largely independent of tilting.

To achieve high-quality collimation even in bright daylight, simply insert the collimator into your focuser and follow the corresponding operating instructions for your telescope if required. This collimator has two basic operating modes: a refractor mode with white LEDs and a reflector mode with red LEDs. Connect a suitable power supply (12V) to one of the connectors to activate the required LEDs.
Note: A power supply is not included in the scope of delivery.

Collimation of Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes and similar systems

It is well known that the collimation of an RC is not a simple matter. With this collimator it is possible to achieve a very good collimation result during the day. This means that you always have an optimally adjusted RC telescope at your disposal during the night. Collimation can be carried out by anyone. However, it is important that the secondary mirror of your telescope has a center mark.

Connections of the collimator

On the telescope side, the TSRCKOLLI-G2 has an M48 thread. This allows it to be screwed to the telescope without tilting. On the viewing side, there is a T2 thread covered with a silver-colored protective ring. You can connect either a suitable camera or a smartphone to it using the appropriate adapters or mounts.
