This is a very clever device. By using three perfectly aligned laser beams it simulates the parallel rays coming from a distant star. The beams then pass through the telescope twice to amplify any error in the entire system making even small miscollimation errors readily seen and fixed. David’s done his homework on this one … Continue reading

Line it up!See all your telescope is capable of delivering with the Celestron collimation tool.The optical performance of most Newtonian telescopes can be optimized by collimating or realigning the telescope’s optics as needed. This procedure is easily accomplished with Celestron’s collimation tool a handy accessory that comes with detailed instructions. It makes short work out … Continue reading

The artificial star is designed to provide a steady, stable reference for star collimation to be used in lieu of an actual star. This device will allow collimation without the worry of star drift or seeing conditions. This very bright, small point source of light will provide a consistent brightness, and produce beautiful diffraction rings … Continue reading

Baader Planetarium has added a unique innovation to the laser collimator. The Laser Colli incorporates a viewable etched viewing plate which can be seen through the back of the laser collimator. This permits collimation of SCTs and small diameter closed tube Newtonians instruments that were difficult or impossible to collimate using a conventional single beam … Continue reading
