TS 2" CONCENTER - you cannot adjust a Newtonian more easily
The alternative to all collimation tools on the market! Now the center of the secondary is being taken into account (without a mark in the center). The adjustment is being done with the fully illuminated focuser. Even the Newtonian offset is concidered. Now even beginners achieve a perfect collimation of their Newtonian telescope - even for astrophotography.

The Concenter eyepiece consists of a closed cylinder, similar to a Cheshire eyepiece. The crucial difference is the inserted disk.

You don´t need a center mark on the secondary mirror for collimation. The collimation is made directly via the edge of the mirror so that an exact congruence of the optical light ares is met, even regarding the offset. Now you collimate significantly more precisely than with a laser, eabove all you can be sure that not only the axis, but also the field is optimally adjusted.

A manual for collimating your Newtonian with the Concenter collimation eyepiece:
If you hold the adjustment eyepiece in your hand, you will notice a transparent plastic disc with a central bore and concentric engraved circles inset on the telescope side at the lower end. At the other end you will find a central hole, which is chosen so small that the eye has no opportunity to avoid centering when looking through. After inserting the collimation eyepiece into the focuser you will see faint translucent rings in front of the optical components of the telescope.
Collimation of the secondary mirror to the focuser for optimum illumination

This step is made with covered primary mirror. Pay attention to a good illuimination when using the concenter eyepiece. Now the secondary mirror, a rectangular mounting of the focuser supposed, is adjusted so that it appears between the circles of the collimation cicles and without offset. With the focus control of the focuser you can bring the outer edge of the secondary mirror and the matching circle to cover. Even small deviations from the ideal position are recognized immediately. By doing this, you place the secondary mirror in the optimal position to the focuser to millimetre accuracy. This step is necessary only once, you can remove the cover of the primary mirror afterwards.
Alignment of the secondary mirror to the main mirror

While looking into the eyepiece, the tilting is changed by means of the screws of the secondary mirror until the bright reflection of the primary mirror in the secondary mirror is concentric with the circles.
Alignment of the primary mirror to the optical axis

Shift the center mark of the primary mirror exactly in the center of the concentric circles by using the adjustment screws of the primary mirror cell. You will notice even the slightest deviation. After this, your Newtonian telescope will be perfectly collimated.

"super instrument for centering the secondary under the focuser. the concentric circles could perhaps be thinner, but I´m happy with how it positions the secondary under the focuser tube."

"very good product for my telescopes and a good service to the UK."

"Durchaus etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber nahezu perfekt für die Justage der Spiegel. Zur Endkontrolle ist dennoch ein Laser oder Cheshire nötig. Preislich finde ich es an der Obergrenze, aber dafür steckt eine gute Idee und hohe Qualität dahinter. Wenn es der Okularauszug zulässt, am besten das größere 2"" Concenter wählen, auch wenn man es vielleicht gewohnt ist mit 1,25"" zu beobachten oder zu justieren. Damit ist man flexibler in der Anwendung."

Alles was man für eine einwandfreie Justage braucht.
Die Spiegelkanten und Reflexionen beim Durchblicken richtig zuzuordnen stellt am Anfang eine Herausforderung dar. Hat man es einmal durchsucht geht die Justage damit einfach und schnell.
Ich nehme meistens eine Taschenlampe zu Hilfe um entweder die Kreise am Concenter oder die Spiegelkanten deutlicher zu sehen.

"This product is very useful, specially to calibrate/align the secondary mirror, after that I use a laser-tool to collimate the primary one."

"Simples Prinzip, funktioniert gut. Je nach Lichteinfall könnten die Kreise gerne etwas deutlicher zu sehen sein, aber die Justage geht auch so gut."

Sehr gute Verarbeitung und durchdachte Qualität, so wie es sich für ein ´Werkzeug´ gehört. Die Kollimierung ist damit hervorragend einfach zu bewältigen.
