Collimation Circles macOS breaktrough

Published on 21 July 2023 at 21:36

I'm very happy and very excited to anounce that first ever succesfull telescope collimation was done using Collimation Circles on macOS platform. Mike Geyser was kind enough to share some final result images with me. It's trully amaizing to see application in real wild world and to get such great feedback. It feels really great being able to  see what he was able to achieve!

Mike was first guy to ever run app on real mac. He posted first macOS issue on GitHub. Without his help app wouldn't be where it is today. So thank you Mike for all your effort and help!

Here are some more images Mike sahred with me. They are trully amaizing!

Hi Simon, I am very interested in your App Collimation Circles. I have two questions:
1. Can I use a regular Raspi camera or do I need in any case a HQ camera with lens?
2. How do I connect a Mac? Do I need to connect it via VNC/SSH to a Raspi (connected to the camera) ? This information should be included on the internet...
