After a move, a drive in the car, or cleaning your telescope, you want to know if your telescope is still working properly, but it has been cloudy for weeks. With this artificial star from Astrozap, you can collimate your telescope or perform a star test whenever you like.
It is a very small light point that behaves like a real star in front of your eyes. You place it at a considerable distance, for example at the end of a long garden, hallway, or hallway, and point your telescope at it. How you then adjust your mirrors is described in our explanation about collimating.
The longer the focal brandlength of your telescope, the further away the light spot has to be to be properly focused. A real star remains the best final check, but this way you can already set it up without waiting for clear weather.
To set the coarse adjustment of a Newton, you often first use a 1.25 inch laser collimator, And then you check the result on this light spot.
