Alstar Alignment 1.25′ Next Generation Laser Collimator 2′ Adaptor for Newtonian Telescopes

Description

With this Laser collimator get the best image from your telescope you need to align your telescope regularly and this high quality laser collimator is an essential for this purpose. To get the most out of your Newtonian scope you really need to align or collimate the mirrors. It can take some time getting used to aligning both the secondary and primary mirrors and this laser collimator can make it much easier. The next generation Laser Collimator for mirror (refractor) telescopes has a 45 degree plate made of aluminum for easier visual accuracy. Collimation is the alignment of elements inside an optical system like a telescope. Colimating a telescope consists of adjusting the tilt and position of the mirrors and lenses to ensure that the focal point reaches optimum focus at the point from which the image will be viewed (the eyepiece or possibly a camera). Many factors can affect the alignment of your optical system and can cause the mirrors to move slightly such as vibrations from movement or expansion and contraction from temperature changes. A mirror which is not properly aligned will cause the light path to shift. The changes to the optical system’s light path will cause an image to become blurry and or unviewable. In order to ensure that you’re seeing the best images your telescope is capable of providing, you should collimate you telescope before each use. Additionally you should collimate your telescope any time images become blurry. This laser collimator is designed to be used in a 1.25 inch focuser.Newcomer? NO Problem! This adjustment tool can be used in all 1.25″ focusers. We provide you with precise instructions in German and English, with a step-by-step explanation of how to adjust a Newtonian telescope using this laser unit. So, even if you are a newcomer to amateur astronomy, it is very simple to get the optimum performance out of your telescope.Package Includes: 1 Alstar Laser Collimator 1 2 Inch Adapter 1 User Manual Features of Alstar Alignment 1.25″ Next Generation Laser Collimator 2″ Adaptor for Newtonian Telescopes 7 Level Brightness Adjustable Red laser collimation beam with 7 brightness levels, wave length 635-655nm; Output power: less than 5mw, much safer for your eyes. Aim at the target anytime, anywhere, even during the daytime can also be used normally. (Warning:Don’t look directly into the laser beam! Permanent eye damage may result! Avoid prolonged skin exposure to laser rashes or burns may occur! )Removable 2″ Adapter This is the newest 1.25″ laser collimator includes removable 2″ adapter; the triple cemented lens to improve the stability of dot; It’s designed for accurate collimation of all Newtonian and SCT reflector telescopes. It is very easy to simply look at the laser target and adjust the telescope until the red dot is centered. no need to keep looking at the cap in the telescope’s eyepiece.Next Generation Laser Collimator The 1.25 inch next generation laser collimator has been improved from the original elliptical granule beam to the spots beam, so that people can better understand whether it has been collimated.Storage Precautions: Avoid exposing the collimator to the water, dust, or prolonged periods of direct sunlight. Store the collimator in a cool, dry environment.Power Supply Mode – Battery The Laser Collimator is powered by one CR2032 battery (Not Included). When the laser beam starts to dim or completely fades, itu2019s time to replace the battery. To do so, unscrew the knurled battery compartment cap at the top of the collimator. With a knife tip or the end of a paper clip, lift the edge of the expired battery out. Insert a fresh CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side up. Then replace the cap. The CR2032 is a commonly used battery in watches, calculators, cameras, and other electronic devices, so youu2019ll be able to find one at most drug/hardware stores or online.

The laser comes fully adjusted; It can be further adjusted if required; It has three openings for adjustment: arranged at 120 degree which are initially sealed; The battery can be exchanged by unscrewing the small screw cap at the rear of the laser This adjustment tool can be used in all 1.25 inch focusers; We provide you with precise instructions in German and English with a step by step explanation of how to adjust a telescope using this laser unit; Even if you are a newcomer to amateur astronomy The laser unit has a front opening from which the laser beam can be emitted; It has a side window allowing a disk oriented at 45 degree with a central hole to be viewed; This can be later be used to see whether the laser is reflected back on itself Built with metal material; CR2032 Lithium Cell battery which is Not include; Accurate collimation in a few minutes provide a more clearer image; The telescope can be collimated by just one person Designed for Reflector telescope; fit for standard 1.25 and 2 inch diameter; Red laser collimation beam with 7 brightness levels; wavelength 635 to 655 nm; Output power less than 5 mw; This sturdy laser unit allows you to swiftly collimate your telescope
