Howie Glatter Laser pointers 650nm 2" & 1.25"

For optimal resolution and contrast, a telescope's optical elements must be precisely aligned. Collimation, the adjustment of these elements' position and orientation, is crucial for achieving peak performance. Laser collimation offers a relatively modern approach to accurately and precisely collimating a telescope.

While various collimation methods converge to the same result when executed with precision, laser collimation boasts several distinct advantages. With its built-in light source, the laser collimator allows for easy collimation or verification after dark, eliminating the need for extra equipment. Unlike passive collimation tools, laser collimators do not restrict your eye position with a peep-hole and crosshairs, simplifying the process. Additionally, laser collimation removes the need to simultaneously scrutinize elements at varying distances.
