ABSTRACT.I describe a simple new method for collimating a Cassegrain telescope that gives near-perfect correction over a wide field of view. This method was used to collimate the 6.5 m MMT in 2002 ...
Collimation aligns a telescope's parts for the sharpest images. Most telescopes need collimation at some point; reflectors need it often. Tools like laser collimators or Chashires help align the ...
The PlaneWave CDK17 telescope is presented as an instrument achieving immediate, perfect performance upon deployment, maintaining optical collimation and integrity despite transport and changes in ...
