What is the fastest way to collimate the light coming from a point object with a lens? I would like to optimize the position of the object, such as the light after the lens and hitting the image plane is collimated. An equivalent of minimizing RMS Angular radius in sequential mode.

 

I reversed the optics to use the quick focus tool to find the focal distance and then reversed them again, but I wonder if there is a “quick collimation” analogue to quick focus.

 

I hope I explained myself ;)
