OCAL Electronic Collimator Pro

The Ocal electronic collimator is an ideal tool for carrying our precise collimation of Newtonian reflector, Ritchey-Chrétien, SCT and other types of reflecting telescopes.

The PRO version is newly revised, and the appearance and packaging are fully upgraded.
Higher accuracy, with m42 to m48 and 1.25-inch adapter, more convenient installation
Using the Android OTG adapters, with the mobile version of the software, you can collimate on your mobile phone!

Collimating using an Ocal electronic collimator is a quick, easy and comfortable experience making it possible to achieve an accuracy down to 0.08mm of primary mirror axial error. It can also be used to collimate the secondary mirror.

The collimation errors caused by different visual axis of the human eye when used with traditional collimation tools are totally eliminated when using a digital collimator.

Software is used to overlay several calibration circles over the image showing the primary and secondary mirrors allowing for very precise, repeatable alignment.

The Pro version includes an M42 to M48 adapter, an M42 to 1.25" nosepiece and can also be operated from a mobile phone / tablet as well as on a laptop or desktop like the standard version. Currently an Android app is available, due to high licensing costs there is unlikely to be an Apple version.

Manual & Warranty

OCAL Electronic Collimator Pro Manual

See video for tutorial

Have been using a Cheshire eyepiece to collimate my 6" GSO RC, supplemented by unfocused bright star images. But as I get older, the eyepiece is more difficult to use. The OCAL camera replaces the Cheshire and provides an image on my PC screen that serves the same purpose. If anything, it is easier as I can see the screen while adjusting the secondary mirror screws -- so a faster and possibly more accurate adjustment. Two criticisms -- I did not find the video tutorial info helpful (a problem for a beginner); and under the same conditions, the image is not as bright as the Cheshire eyepiece. Overall a useful tool.
