Aline 1.25" and 2"
Telescope Collimation
Eyepieces
Brighter than any Cheshire eyepiece for a fraction of the cost!
A Must for Rich Field and Fast Newtonians & Dobsonians
Look Into Your Telescope
Through an Alinesand
you see a bright white circle surrounding the image of your eye's
pupil, making it easier to center the primary and secondary mirrors,
which is especially important for aligning rich field and fast
Newtonian and Dobsonian telescopes.
1000's of Alines are in use around the world (yes thousands) since Rigel Systems introduced the first retroreflector collimation eyepiece in 1995. Simple in design, Aline uses an ultra-reflective microprism retroreflector and the light gathered by your telescope to produce a brighter image than "classical" Cheshires or other so called "reflective" cheshires (which are retroreflector collimation eyepieces -- not cheshires) that use less reflective microsphere retroreflectors.
Our 2" Alines now features a 3/4" black center in the micrprism reflector which, when used with our 3/4" fat triangle mirror center spot(beefed up on the sides to make removal from backing without tearing) enhances and simplifies collimation.
Enclosed with your Aline is a highly reflective mirror center spot 5/8” diameter, to update your mirror center spot for better visibility with your Aline during collimation, especially under low light levels.
