High-Finesse Orthogonal Collimation

When it comes to collimation adjustments, the fewer the better. The Ceravolo 300 Astrograph’s precision opto-mechanical components allow for a minimum of collimation adjustments.

The primary mirror is pre-aligned and bonded in place, only the secondary is adjusted using a simple left/right, up/down orthogonal motion. The two ultra-fine 80 thread per inch thumb screws make precision collimation easy.
