The Baader Colli Mark III Laser Collimator has a precision-etched reticule featuring hundreds of tiny cross-hairs which light up brightly when the reflected laser beam touches them. it is easily visible from any viewing angle. Even if the optics are off to a large degree, the reflected beam can be traced right through to the reticule and the telescope optics adjusted until the beam falls back on itself.
Note 1: Prior to using a laser you will need to first check/set a Newtonian telescope's secondary mirror using a sight-tube. Fortunately once set it rarely needs further adjustment.
Note 2: For any laser collimator to be effective it needs to be fitted to a well-made focuser. The regular rack-and-pinion style focuser fitted to many beginner/intermediate telescopes lacks precision and rigidity. If in doubt please contact us for advice.
Features - Baader Colli Mark III Laser Collimator
- Lightweight and very simple to use
- Produce an ultra sharp rounded laser beam
- An essential accessory for astronomical observations
- Can be used for SCT collimation if you centre-dot secondary first
- One-piece die-cast and machined aluminium housing guarantees a stable alignment
- Fits into eyepiece holder and assists in re-aligning your optics to correct distortions
- An extremely popular accessory that gives very accurate collimation (optical alignment) of all Newtonian and Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescopes
Note: If your telescope is out of collimation, images will get distorted and you will not be able to achieve a proper, pinpoint focus at some higher magnifications
