The Glatter Sling ™ for Obsession and other Dobs is a new development in primary mirror edge support systems that eliminates the problems of astigmatism and miscollimation present with many commercial and ATM slings.

The tuBlug™ is the answer for those who want to Barlow-collimate their primary from the back of the scope, but have a solid tube Newtonian, or can't be bothered to slide their shroud up.

The most important specification for a laser collimator is the accuracy and stability of the laser beam alignment with the cylindrical axis of the collimator body.

The tuBlug™ is the answer for those who want to Barlow-collimate their primary from the back of the scope, but have a solid tube Newtonian, or can't be bothered to slide their shroud up.

The nine-concentric circle pattern is NOW available!

The Blug is Howie's newest Newtonian collimation accessory (Blug is short for Barlowed collimation plug).

Introducing the SCT Parallizer®. This new application of Howie Glatter’s patented Parallizer® principle raises the bar for performance.

Howie Glatter now offers an innovative 2-to-1¼-inch adapter that properly squares your eyepieces, collimation devices, and cameras to the optical axis in your 2-inch telescope focuser.

A cross-hair and circle “scope” pattern is available that spans 10 degrees. It has utility for non-Barlowed, conventional Newtonian primary collimation, where the primary is adjusted to return the reflected central laser beam back into the laser aperture

Square Grid Projection Attachment. A wide pattern spanning 21 degrees, best for fast scopes down to f/2.7

Attaches to laser aperture for making the primary mirror adjustment quick, efficient and compact.

T-adapter with Howie Glatter's Parallizer Patent alignment feature allows your image train to stay parallel
