Our Price:  £28.00(Inc. 20% VAT)

Model:  SWCheshire


This collimating eyepiece is a combination of a sighting tube and Cheshire eyepiece. The sighting tube’s narrow field of view and crosshairs provide a centering reference for the telescope’s optical elements. The Cheshire eyepiece has a means of providing illumination to a target face (set at 45 degrees to the illuminating hole) that will be used to collimate the primary mirror.

Item is well made, however it comes with no instructions what-so-ever. For someone who has an idea of how to use one of these it's not a problem, but for the beginner being advised to get a cheshire collimator it will leave them asking what on earth they do with it.

Fortunately using a cheshire is well documented on the forums and other websites....

This is a good quality collimation eyepiece. Easy to use, but would benefit people new to collimation if instructions were included. Well made and will last a life time.

Nothing to be scared of
  -  Tom

Being new to astronomy the idea of collimating my scope did scare me a bit, but with this eyepiece it was easy! The only thing I find slightly disappointing is the price. Essentially this is just a tube with a few holes in it and a couple of wires, so I think £25 is a bit on the pricey side. On the other hand it is much cheaper than its laser counterparts, so maybe its not that expensive.

Easy to use and does the job well.
