Howie Glatter Laser pointers 650nm 2"

Achieving optimal resolution and contrast in a telescope requires precise alignment of its optical elements. Collimation, which involves adjusting the position and orientation of these elements, is essential for peak performance. Laser collimation offers a relatively new method for achieving accurate and precise collimation.

While various collimation methods can yield similar results when executed with precision, laser collimation offers several unique advantages. The laser collimator provides its own light source, enabling collimation to be easily performed or verified after dark without requiring additional equipment. Unlike passive collimation tools, laser collimators do not constrain your eye position with a peep-hole and crosshairs, allowing for more flexible observation. Additionally, laser collimation eliminates the need to scrutinize elements at different distances simultaneously.
