Baader Newtonian and SC Laser Collimator Mark III
... best Laser in "Sky at Night" - Laser Kollimator Review
... perfect adjustment of Newtonian and SC Telescopes

Baader Collimator Newtonian Mark III

Compared with simpler models, the Baader Laser Collimator Mark III has a couple of advantages:

-- Precisely machined 1¼" barrel
-- Generous viewing position from the side
-- Full metal design
-- Laser alignment with 6 setting screws
-- Laser beam exits through a 0.8mm iris causing a very precise laser point
-- Etched and translucent reticle: the reflected point can be seen clearly
-- Every laser is carefully aligned before shipping
-- Detailed instruction manual

Brief Newtonian collimation instruction:

Baader Mark III Laser Newton

1. The Newtonian's focuser should be above the OTA and the collimator should not be clamped in order to prevent tilting. A tilted laser would degrade the collimation result.

2. Switch on the laser diode and center the laser spot on the main mirror using the adjustment screws at the secondary mirror (see picture on the left).

3. Now, adjust the main mirror with its collimation screws until the laser beam is reflected back into its central bore.

Collimation Newtonian

The picture on the right shows a slightly miscollimated main mirror. When the system is far out of collimation, the laser spot would sit outside the reticle. The picture on the left shows a collimated system. The laser beam is fully reflected into the central bore.

Adjusting Schmidt Cassegrain (SC) Telescopes with the Baader Mark III Laser Colllimator:

Baader Mark III Laser SC

To adust a SC Telescope, the Laser must be very precise. Cheaper Lasers are not good enough and the reflected laser beam is too big to make an accurate adjustment. The new Baader Laser Mark III produces a smaller point for more precision.

Suggestions:

-- Fasten the Laser-Colli straight into the SC visual back without using star diagonal, in order to avoid wrong alignment due to inaccurately tilted mirror diagonals

-- Check, that the laserpoint goes into the center of the secondary mirror (you will see it from the front site of the telescope)

-- Change the secondary mirror with the 3 screws to center the laserpoint in the laser into the central bore.
