How to Collimate a Laser Beam
A laser beam that has been directed through optics or a fiber can be approximately collimated with different lenses. A laser beam focused into a single-mode optical fiber can be coherently collimated. Mathematics can assist in collimating a... Read More »

What laser collimator should i get?
I'd go with the Glatter (its built better) - BUT first find out if the primary mirror has a centering dot or doughnut. It's been too long since I've used an XT8 and forget if they have one or not (hopefully, someone else can answer that). I... Read More »

What materials are the prisms and the Collimator lens made of in ...
It depends on the wavelength of the laser. But most optics are either pyrex or fused silica. The later is typically a better optical material, but more expensive. I would figure out what your wavelength is and find a glass that does what yo... Read More »

Gavin, yes just a sad fact of life, newtonians need collimators. What you are paying for is the quality and accuracy of construction. That is how tightly they fit the focuser draw tube, how they handle the knocks of use, how accurately the ...

On telescopes having a curved secondary mirror, a laser collimator will work properly only if the secondary mirror is perfectly centered above the primary mirror. Unfortunately, telescope manufacturing tolerances are such that slight second...

Hi Graham, Depending on which direction your collimation is out, you will almost certainly have to adjust all three to get it spot on as they all interact with one another to some extent. Mine were all the same size and at 120 degrees from ...
