2" Super Collimation Kit
The complete three-tool collimation solution for the highest possible precision.
The Farpoint 2" Super Collimation Kit bundles a laser collimator, Cheshire eyepiece, and autocollimator in a padded carrying case — the kit for astronomers who want the highest possible collimation precision. Precision-machined in the USA with a lifetime alignment guarantee on the laser and autocollimator. CATSEYE™ is a trademark of CatEye Collimation; Farpoint is not affiliated with CatEye Collimation.
Specifications
In the box
Farpoint 650nm Laser Collimator (1.25"/2" combo stepped barrel); Farpoint 2" Cheshire Collimation Eyepiece; Farpoint 2" Autocollimator; mirror center-marking template + triangle center spots; sturdy carrying case with fitted foam insert
Laser
650nm; single-piece machined body; 8-screw alignment system (both ends of the diode, directly opposing screws); 0.76mm beam aperture — the smallest on the market
Cheshire
2" reflective-pane design (CATSEYE™ BlackCat style, no crosshairs); no batteries, no electronics
Autocollimator
Farpoint 2" — machined to optical-grade tolerances after 10 years of iterative design refinement; rated the finest on the market by our customers, for iterative refinement
Mirror marking
Template works with mirrors up to 12.5" (large templates available separately)
Made in
USA — lifetime alignment guarantee on the laser and autocollimator
For
Newtonian & Dobsonian reflectors with 2" focusers only
Where it fits in the workflow
This kit covers all three steps: Laser → Cheshire → Autocollimator. The 650nm laser sets secondary and rough primary, the 2" Cheshire delivers precise primary alignment, and the 2" autocollimator enables iterative refinement to the tightest possible precision.

Who needs the Super Kit? Astrophotographers with fast Newtonians (fast focal ratios amplify collimation errors), large Dobsonian owners (bigger mirrors magnify errors), and serious visual observers pushing optics to their theoretical limit. Just getting started? The 2" Collimation Kit covers the two-tool laser + Cheshire workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Super Kit?
A Farpoint 650nm laser collimator (1.25"/2" combo stepped barrel), a Farpoint 2" Cheshire eyepiece, a Farpoint 2" autocollimator, a mirror center-marking template with triangle center spots, and a sturdy carrying case with fitted foam insert.
What does the autocollimator add over the laser and Cheshire?
The autocollimator enables an iterative approach — going back and forth between adjustments to push collimation to the tightest possible precision. It's the step that separates good collimation from perfect collimation, and it's especially valuable for fast focal ratios and large mirrors.
Is this guaranteed?
Yes. The kit is precision-machined in the USA and carries a lifetime alignment guarantee on the laser and the autocollimator.
Will this work on my SCT, Maksutov, or refractor?
No. This kit is for Newtonian and Dobsonian reflecting telescopes only. It is not intended for refractors, catadioptric, or SCT designs.
