Hotech Collimator

Does anyone have a 2" Hotech Collimator with compression rings, that I could have a quick borrow of?

Thanks

Not seen those before but looks like it could be a useful tool...John

John, The Meade moves about in the focuser, no matter what you do. The screws are not enough to hold it tight & central

Mick, you are not only getting funnier by the day, but you have this tool for me to try, really pleased, thanks.
Did not think I would get any result.
Can you bring along on thursday? You will recognise me, my tent will be  erected just outside the door
