Ocal Version 4.0

Ocal Version 4.0

The OCAL Collimator Version 4.0 is a further development of the popular OCAL V3.0, OCAL PRO and 3.0 MAX collimators. The accuracy of the devices has been further improved. Thanks to enhanced optics and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, the OCAL V4.0 now covers all focal lengths. In addition, we have managed to launch the OCAL 4.0 at a slightly lower price.

  • The new Version 4.0 of the OCAL collimator uses a larger front lens and a CMOS sensor. The new sensor is significantly more light-sensitive and has smaller pixels. This allows for adjustment even in darker conditions. If the image is too bright, you can reduce the brightness by adjusting the gain and exposure time.
  • Resolution and imaging performance have been further improved compared to all previous models.
  • Unlike the earliest previous versions, the OCAL V4.0 features a decoupled, industrial-grade camera module. This camera module is no longer connected to the circuit board. A completely new manufacturing technique allows this module to be fitted into the OCAL MAX housing with the utmost precision. The tolerance during assembly is just 0.05 mm!
  • The improved optics of the OCAL Version 4.0 ensure that critical areas can now be brought into focus even more effectively.
  • The central area around the OCAL’s lens is now easier to distinguish from the background. This enables precise adjustment even under difficult conditions, such as when a centre mark obscures the lens. To this end, an additional black ring has now been fitted inside the housing specifically for this purpose.
  • The clarity of the image has been significantly improved. Particularly when a corrector is attached, the image quality is now considerably better than on previous models.
  • Suitable for Windows, Android and Apple Mac.

Product description

The completely redesigned and revolutionary collimator VERSION 4.0 for your telescope. The market is constantly moving towards short focal lengths and highly sensitive cameras with extremely small pixel sizes. This places greater demands on precise telescope alignment.

The Ocal Collimator is an innovative tool that makes alignment much easier in a completely new way.

Every Ocal collimator has an internal motor that moves the CMOS chip linearly. The software allows the focus to be adjusted precisely to the individual areas requiring adjustment. This means you can focus on any area within the telescope without touching the setup or the image train. The supplied software allows you to select and adjust coloured centring circles. The software also controls the line width of the circles, as well as the contrast and exposure of the live image. Finally, a reticle can be activated and rotated via the software. This allows all areas important for alignment to be brought into focus and aligned very precisely in a concentric manner. By aligning the reticle, the exact linear alignment of the capture spider can be assessed.
