Howie Glatter

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 nine-concentric circle pattern is NOW available!

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

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.

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

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.

This is one of the last holographic disks that Howie Glatter made with the original fine thread.

The laser collimator is a tool which enables precise adjustment of the position and alignment of telescope optics, so as to obtain the best possible image contrast and resolution.
