Dream is committed to offering its customers the highest level product. The custom products on this page are another example of our level of detail and committment. We understand the variables and are constantly striving to reduce those variables.


Collimation can be very intimidating, time-consuming and frustrating. Dream's goal is to offer collimation tools that are adequately sized for our products and optimized to our exact optical systems. In this way we can offer a level of accuracy and ease of use that is extremely rare.

Dream has been working with Catseye collimation tools to develop the custom accessories shown to the left: 3" sight tube, 3" Cheshire and 3" AutoCollimator.


The custom 3" accessories can be seen to the right.

The sight tube is at top, the Cheshire is bottom left and the AutoCollimator is at the bottom right.


 
 

To the 16" Dream Astrograph with these collimation tools, click on the image to the left.

The image to the left shows the prototype 3" custom sight tube next to Catseye's original 2" model.

Dream's primary mirrors will be pre-marked with a large version of the red, reflective triangle, with center hole. This will make the triangle appear larger, brighter and therefore easier to see in the collimation tools. These larger tools are a joy to use because they offer such wide views and therefore allow for earlier detection of collimation cues.

Dream is also using a larger triangle on the primary, again, offering more detail to the user for collimation cues.
