A properly collimated Newton will give you razor-sharp images, but the alignment must be right. The Hotech SCA Point Laser Collimator makes this process precise and frustration-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike standard laser collimators that often sit crookedly in the focuser, giving erroneous results, Hotech uses a <strong>SCA (Self-Centering Adapter)<\/strong>. This ensures that the laser is always perfectly centered in the focuser - with no screws, no play. This prevents tilt and greatly increases accuracy, especially with reflector telescopes such as the Heritage 130P or larger Dobsons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>point laser<\/strong> projects an ultrafine, circular laser dot onto the main mirror. Thanks to the built-in <strong>45\u00b0 directional screen<\/strong> on the back, you can also perform this process solo: you simply look at the screen while adjusting the mirrors. When the dot returns to its starting point, you know your alignment is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The housing is made of anodized aluminum, robust and lightweight. It runs on an included 3V lithium battery and comes in a protective storage case, convenient for transport and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Laser diode: Class II<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power: max. 1 mW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power supply: 3V lithium battery (included)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Telescope connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focuser size: 1.25\u2033<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adapter: Self-Centering (SCA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>General<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length: 127 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diameter: 30 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight: 97 grams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material: Aluminum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design: Spot laser with 45\u00b0 aiming screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes: Storage case + battery<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"283\" data-end=\"454\"><strong data-start=\"283\" data-end=\"333\">Hotech SCA Spot Laser Collimator 1.25\u2033<\/strong>\u00a0Aligning your Newton telescope has never been so precise and easy.
