The CATSEYETM family of collimation tools & accessories continues to grow! From the the novel front-surface .965" & 1.25" Cheshires that CATSEYETM designed and introduced in 1997, to the next-generation "XL" 3-set suite of 2" tools, to the 2-pupil "XLK" autocollimator, the new "XLKP" autocollimator is yet another step forward in our passion to continually improve our products to provide state-of-the-art collimation tools to the amateur astronomer who strives for maximum-performance from their Newtonian scope.
