OCAL


 

The OCAL Electronic Collimator Pro is a revolutionary new device for collimating reflecting telescopes with the aid of powerful and easy to use software. With the aid of precise calibration guides, the OCAL makes the daunting task of collimation a breeze.

The Pro version features a more accurate sensor calibration and includes M42 to M48 and M42 to 1.25" adapters. 

Features

  • High quality control ensures each Collimator has perfect pixel level accuracy.
  • Installing the collimator by M42 threads minimizes the install errors.
  • Collimation errors can be caused by the different visual axis of human eyes when using traditional collimation tools. This can be total eliminated by the OCAL electronic collimator.
  • The OCAL electronic collimator can solve the problem of collimating large telescopes, with the real-time result shown on the screen.
  • The easy 4 steps collimation process is suitable for everyone.
  • The OCAL electronic collimator can also check if the centre mark of the primary mirror is correct or not.
  • You can share your collimation result by screenshot.

OCAL or Cheshire?

Purchased for use on a 6" RC GSO, as collimation is never super accurate using just a Cheshire and Baader laser. The OCAL was fairly easy to use after some trial and error, and watching their RC collimation video. Best used with a large screen, I find a smartphone works but is too small to get an accurate solution. The USB A to C adapters is too flimsy and was ditched for a better quality adapter I bought separately. Overall good quality build, and the software works very well on Windows and on my Android smartphone.
