This means that collimation is set at the factory and does not change for the life of the instrument. To achieve this, all optics are accurately centered, including the mirror backs. It is then precisely machined to very tight tolerances on our Mori-Seiki SL300 turning center. The finished mirror cell with its ventilation cutouts weighs a mere 2 lb. The other 28 lb.
Similar care is taken with the corrector cell and other mounting components.
The result is a scope you can count on to produce consistently excellent images any time, any place. We opted for a moving mirror focuser to accommodate a wide variety of photographic and visual accessories. The goal was to achieve precise movement of the mirror down to the micron level with no image shift. With this system, your image will stay on that tiny CCD chip regardless of focuser position. You won t have to install an aftermarket Crayford focuser for your critical applications.
