Howie Glatter Laser pointers 635nm 1,25" (59248)

To achieve optimal resolution and contrast in a telescope, the optical elements must be precisely aligned. This process, known as collimation, involves adjusting the position and orientation of these elements to ensure the best performance. Laser collimation is a modern and highly effective method for accurately aligning a telescope's optics.

Laser collimation offers several advantages over traditional methods. It provides its own light source, allowing collimation to be performed or checked even in the dark without additional tools. Unlike passive collimation techniques that require precise eye positioning through a peep-hole or crosshairs, laser collimation is more user-friendly and eliminates the need to focus on elements at varying distances simultaneously.
