Collimation tool for Ritchey-Christian

TS Collimating Telescope - Precise collimation for RC, Cassegrain, DK and refractors

The TS collimating microscope with integrated lightingwith rechargeable battery and USB-C port for extremely precise telescope adjustment Ritchey-Chrétien, Cassegrain, Dall-Kirkham as well as refractors. Thanks to its focusing system and included eyepieces, every alignment step is simple, fast and reproducible.

Highlights

• Telescope thread M48 with T2 adapter included (M90 and M117 available as options)
• Integrated lighting collimation possible even in bright conditions
• Rechargeable battery autonomy: approx. 20 h, recharging via USB-C with indicator
• Compatibility RC, Cassegrain, DK, refractors
• Accessories included : 2 eyepieces, 1.25″ clamping, T2 thread
• Camera connection : via T2 or 1.25″ → assisted collimation possible
• Laser compatible direct insertion for focuser axis adjustment

Why use the TS Collimating Telescope?

With conventional tools, identification of optical surfaces is difficult, making collimation approximate. Here, the magnifying and focusing optical system enables you to concentrate solely on the element to be adjusted (e.g. secondary), for a precise and precise adjustment. fast and reliable. Integrated illumination reveals reflections clearly, even in daylight.

Advanced applications

• RC 6–8″ : facilitates alignment when the light gap between baffles is no longer visible → clear visualization of secondary spider branches.
• Refractors Integrated illumination highlights colored and concentric reflections for fine adjustment, even on short doublets (T2 extension possible).

Camera and laser compatibility

The TS collimator directly accepts a laser to set the focuser axis (an essential step on RC). In addition, a camera can be inserted (T2 or 1.25″) to monitor the collimation in real time on a screen, which is convenient for stationary use.
