Hotech 2" SCA laser collimator - crosshair laser

Self-Centering Adapter Solution

Say goodbye to the frustration of loose-fitting laser collimators! Our patented Self-Centering Adapter tackles this issue head-on by employing expanding rubber rings. These rings expand to fill the focuser slop, precisely centering the laser collimator in the drawtube. This mechanism, compatible with most focuser brands, ensures consistent installation for accurate collimation.

Pinpoint Laser Alignment

We meticulously position the laser along the optical path, aligning it parallel to the optical axis. Maintaining laser beam centering is crucial for precise collimation; otherwise, using an off-axis laser can introduce astigmatism into your telescope.

Comprehensive Visual Aid

Our 45º Faceplate Viewer, complete with a laser-engraved targeting grid, offers a clear visual reference during collimation adjustments. This feature enables you to align your primary mirror from the rear of the telescope, eliminating the need for repetitive trips to the front. The faceplate, a standard inclusion in our SCA Laser Collimator, ensures accurate targeting and durability.

Ultra-Fine Laser Projection

Achieving precision collimation hinges on keeping the laser dot as fine as possible. We ensure our laser beam remains at its finest size within the optimal operating distance, minimizing guesswork during alignment. Unlike other collimators with larger projecting laser dots, our design prioritizes effective and precise collimation.

New Crosshair Laser Model

Our latest crosshair laser collimator enhances accuracy during final primary mirror collimation. Featuring extended laser lines from the center dot, this model simplifies alignment, especially when the dot disappears into the laser exiting hole. It's a game-changer for achieving precise collimation effortlessly.

Compact, Lightweight Design

Understanding the importance of balance and stability, we've engineered our SCA Laser Collimator to be lightweight yet robust. By minimizing unnecessary weight, we ensure reliable precision collimation without compromising durability. Crafted with aerospace-grade aluminum and CNC machined to tight tolerances, it's a state-of-the-art collimation instrument.
