Innovation brings Affortable and Portable Collimation into Reality
Since the invention of the Cassegrain Telescope in 1672 by the French sculptor Sieur Guillaume
Cassegrain, the Cassegrain Telescope has evolved into various derivative designs such as the more
popular Ritchey-Chrétien, Dall-Kirkham, Schmidt-Cassegrain, and Maksutov-Cassegrain. The designs
have gained their popularity because of their compact and simple to produce design. With different
designs, star collimation is and has always been the only effective method to collimate for Cassegrain
telescope owners.
Now, backyard astronomers have an alternative to achieve excellent collimation conveniently using
the Advanced CT Laser Collimator. The Advanced CT Laser Collimator brings the collimating star to your
telescope within arm reaching distance. With its short range capability, you can perform collimation
indoors - day or night - without being subjected to weather conditions. And best of all, this new
collimator utilizes a clear and simple-to-read, large target display for the telescope alignment
diagnostic. This large target display is positioned within a short focal distance of the telescope
which allows you to collimate without guessing.
