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


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


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.





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
[[kein Bild]]
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.

"Very fine and precise craftsmanship. When used properly helps to obtain fast and excellent collimation in Newtonian telescopes in the matter of two-three minutes. The only tip outside of the main instruction: in order to find proper position of the secondary mirror (closer or further away from the primary mirror) one can use flat-field shots. Once the vignetting looks even and symmetrical then you can set proper orientation of the secondary mirror with respect to main optical axis."

"Perfekt im Zusammenspiel mit dem von oben justierbaren Hauptspiegel meines Dobsons. Da macht allein die Justage schon Spaß und ist kürzester Zeit erledigt. Der reflektierte Laserpunkt ist auf der gravierten Scheibe sehr gut zu erkennen. Top!"

"Perfekt am Newton - ist aber nicht die ganze Miete: Wie die korrekte Geometrie zwischen Tubus, Okularauszug, Sekundär- und Primärspiegel auszuschauen hat, muss einem trotzdem im Vornherein klar sein. "

"Hatte vorher den ***-Justierlaser. Der Baader ist um Klassen besser! Das fängt schon beim Batteriewechsel an. "

"Der beste Justierlaser den ich kenne. Zentrierung an einem F4 Newton auf Anhieb perfekt! Verwendbarkeit für SC und Mak machen diesen Lser zu einem Universalgerät!"
