Is it Collimatable ?

[Kevdan]

Hi all,

Just a quickie,

is this http://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/revelation-deluxe-laser-collimator_d5390.html Collimation tool collimatable ?

If not which ones are, as I cant find in any description of the tools that says they ar ecollimatable or not. I was looking for the antares one but they all seen to be out of stock.

The best way round this is phone and ask them,,,,there info sheet doesn't....

From the images on the RVO and other sites there appear to be grub screws around the barrel near the end of the logo and SnS say it is supplied with an "adjustment key", so I'd think it is collimatable..

Yes it is , three grubsrews , same as tweaking your polarscope .

You will prob find the screws capped off with black silicon sealant.

Good tutorial here ,

I have an unbranded one, but it also has the black gunk over some of the grub screws. I didn't realise it was there intentionally.
