Anyone know where I can get a Artificial star (for collimation use) like what was available from Digitec and Picostar. Seems that the companies that make this type of accessory have gone out of business.

Here is how I made one for portable use. I used it for my SCT at about 35-40', in darkness of course. I actually placed it in my garage and then looked down the hall through the open door.
