The Skywatcher Collimation Eyepiece Cheshire 1.25\u2033<\/strong> is a classic and reliable tool for perfectly aligning the optics of your telescope. With this accessory, you can accurately collimate the mirrors of Newton and Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes in minutes, without electronic tools or batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cheshire eyepiece combines two functions in one instrument: a reticle for centering<\/strong> and a reflective 45\u00b0 surface<\/strong> that projects a bright ring of light into the light path. This allows you to see immediately if the main and catch mirrors are correctly aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reversible eyecup<\/strong> prevents disturbing light from the side, allowing you to collimate even during the day. Thanks to the 1.25\u2033 mount, the eyepiece fits in almost any focuser. A standard adapter can be used for 2\u2033 focusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solid aluminum design ensures durability and precision, without the need for calibration or power supply. This makes the Cheshire eyepiece an ideal tool for both home use and travel, indispensable for owners of Dobson telescopes who transport their instrument regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher Cheshire Collimation eyepiece is suitable for all Newton and Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
What you can do with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Accurate alignment of main and catch mirrors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Checking the centering of the optical axis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Easy collimation in daylight or dusk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ideal for Dobson and travel binoculars that are moved frequently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
