The OCAL 2.0 Pro is a second-generation electronic collimator for aligning reflective telescopes, including Newtonian, Ritchey-Chrétien, and Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) designs. It uses a built-in camera and software to display calibration circles over the image of your telescope’s mirrors, helping you align your optics with high accuracy.
With support for both primary and secondary mirror alignment, the OCAL 2.0 Pro eliminates human eye error commonly found in traditional collimation tools. Real-time feedback makes the collimation process simple and repeatable.
Key Features
- M42 threaded mounting for low installation error
- Eliminates visual axis error from eye-based tools
- On-screen calibration for fast and repeatable results
- 4-step process is simple to follow for all users
- Support for Android and Windows devices
- Includes M42 to M48 adapter and 1.25" nosepiece
A Practical Alternative to OCAL 3.0 Max
While the newer OCAL 3.0 Max offers improved hardware and better performance in low-light environments, the OCAL 2.0 Pro remains a dependable and cost-effective option for most users. It covers the needs of the majority of reflector type telescope setups.
