TS-Optics 2" DeLuxe LED Collimator for RC Telescopes and Refractors - integrated battery

The TSRCKolli-G3 collimator was developed for Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes, but is also suitable for refractors or SCs. It features an integrated battery and a USB-C charging port. Made in Germany.
Enables precise and easy collimation of Cassegrains, Maksutov-Cassegrains, and RCs with a central marking on the secondary mirror.
Also suitable for refractor telescopes.
Suitable for all precisely manufactured 2" receptacles.
The LEDs are powered by an integrated battery.
USB-C charging port.
M48 thread on the telescope side for screw connection without tilting.
T2 thread on the viewing side for connecting a smartphone or a suitable camera.

TSRCKOLLI-G3 2" LED collimator for many telescopes.
The collimator is compatible with almost all common optical systems and allows precise collimation during the day. We particularly recommend the collimator for all Cassegrain telescopes, such as Schmidt-Cassegrain (with central secondary mirror marking), RC, Dall-Kirkham, and similar telescope types. The collimator is very precise, and the collimation result is largely independent of tilt.

To achieve high-quality collimation even in bright daylight, simply insert the collimator into your focuser and follow the appropriate instruction manual for your telescope as needed. This collimator has two basic operating modes: a refractor mode with white LEDs and a reflector mode with red LEDs.
The generously sized battery allows for an operating time of over 15 hours, so even with frequent use—for example, in professional applications—recharging is rarely necessary.

Collimation of Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes and similar systems
It is well known that collimating an RC is not an easy task. With this collimator, it is possible to achieve excellent collimation results during the day. This ensures that you always have an optimally adjusted RC telescope at night. Collimation can be performed by anyone. However, it is important that your telescope's secondary mirror has a center mark.

Collimator Connections
On the telescope side, the TSRCKOLLI-G3 has an M48 thread. This allows for tilt-free screwing onto the telescope. On the viewing side, there is a T2 thread covered by a silver protective ring. With the appropriate adapters or mounts, you can connect either a suitable camera or a smartphone.
