Artificial Star - White LED - For Telescope Collimation and Testing Artificial stars allow you to collimate a telescope perfectly without having to wait for a perfect night. A particular advantage is the possibility to reduce or even eliminate the distracting influence of atmospheric turbulence by setting the star and the telescope up inside a closed room.
No Need For Night-Time Telescope Collimation Anymore It almost sounds too good to be true, but this is exactly what you get with the Optik Star. This device is not a simple home-made device. It has a very precise and small 50 micron hole.
Specifications: - high precision artificial star with 50 micron diameter
- sturdy housing with on-off switch
- easy to set up (on a wall or a tripod)
White LED The Optik Star uses a neutral white LED which allows you to detect and judge the colour correction of your refractor. It is also suitable for testing telescopes without chromatic aberration, e.g. Newtonian telescopes.
