The Laser Collimator uses a red laser to accurate- ly align the mirrors in your LightBridge Truss Tube Dobsonian telescope. Once accurately aligned, stars will appear as sharp pinpoints, planets will reveal spectacular detail, and double stars can be easily split. Simply insert the laser collimator into the eyepiece holder of the telescope, and make small adjustments to the secondary and primary mirror to center the red dot of the laser. Once centered your Telescope is in collimation and ready to use.
