    I am planning to get a 200 mm RC scope but i hate collimation process on my newtonian. i tried lasers and a cheshire. whilst i am able to get fairly okay collimation following testing with a LED torch under a Al foil with a pin hole, the process usually takes hours. and the results were never fully satisfactory . then i saw a Ocal Electronic Collimator on FLO and thought it should not be difficult to make it using a Arducam + some python/openCV coding. So I 3d  printed a 2 inch frame in which I screwed the camera. 

    first impression, need to  reprint the 2 inch frame in red, so that it is easier to see on the mirror. camera i chose is a bit expensive but works well.

    total cost was about 50 pounds for the camera. python codes and stl files are in https://github.com/rsarwar87/pyReflectorCollimator

    I am having an issue running your .py files in Windows 10/11. I already have Python 3.11 installed.  Any guide on how to run it?

     

    Best Regards,
