# Housing and Telescope Mounts for Camera Module
## Intended Purpose
These parts are designed to work with a 38x38mm USB UVC Camera module such as those from Arducam or available online from various Asia based sellers.

A camera module assembled with the parts below can be used to collimate a telescope, in a similar fashion to the commercially available Ocal Electronic Collimator.

An 8MP UVC USB Webcam module using IMX179 sensor with autofocus is recommended for this project. Refer to the image for an example of what to look for.

To collimate the telescope you'll need to use software such as [pyReflectorCollimator](https://github.com/rsarwar87/pyReflectorCollimator "pyReflectorCollimator"). You may also be able achieve a reasonable result using circle overlays with [Sharpcap](https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/ "Sharpcap").
A discussion on the use of pyReflectorCollimator can be found [here](https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/386847-yet-another-diy-electronic-collimator/ "here").
