The new CATSEYETM Wired VIDEO Collimation System brings the precision of passive-tool collimation into the world of digital. The astronomer's eye has been replaced with a color CCTV camera integrated into the new BLACKCAT XLVTM Cheshire. Now the signature axial alignment visual queues, so familiar to users of the CATSEYETM Collimation System, are displayed on a hand-held (or scope-mounted) LCD monitor eliminating the hassle of those tiresome multiple trips to and from the focuser to assess those trial-and-error adjustments. Now, dynamically watch the Cheshire visual queues, parallax-free, in REAL-TIME at the rear of your scope as you adjust the Primary mirror's tilt adjustment screws to textbook perfection.
With the use of this CATSEYETM exclusive tool, the age-old complaint and time-consuming hassle of requiring multiple trips to and from the back of the scope during the Primary tilt adjustment process has been resolved. The proverbial Trial & error incremental knob-tweak is no longer needed.

Using this tool, adjusting the Primary is now a quick & easy, 1-man, once-&-done Process!
