Skywatcher Laser Pointer 1mW Red 1.25″

The Skywatcher Laser Pointer 1mW Red 1.25″ is a practical collimation tool that allows you to align the mirrors of your Newton telescope easily and with high precision. This laser allows you to perfectly align your telescope within seconds, even in the dark, so you always get the most out of your optics.

How it works is simple: place the laser collimator in the focuser of your telescope and check that the laser beam returns exactly to the center of the exit. This allows you to see at a glance whether the main and catch mirrors are correctly aligned.

Unlike using a traditional collimation eyepiece or visual method, this laser offers fast and objective accuracy. After transportation or temperature changes, you no longer need to adjust your telescope in daylight: thanks to the visible red laser beam, this can now be done effortlessly under the stars.

The laser can be rotated 360° in the focuser, allowing you to see directly how the light point moves during adjustment without constantly walking between the main mirror and focuser. This saves time and avoids frustration in the collimation process.

The 1mW laser power meets safety standards and is powerful enough to remain highly visible in the dark without risk to eyes or mirrors.

Application

The Skywatcher Laser Pointer is suitable for all Newton reflector telescopes with a 1.25″ or 2″ focuser.
What you can do with it:

• Accurate alignment of main and catch mirrors
• Fast collimation after transport or temperature changes
• Adjusting in the dark without an additional light source
• Instant visual feedback while turning the laser
