Farpoint Primary Mirror Center Marking Kit — Up to 12.5"
Finding the exact center of your primary mirror is the crucial first step before any telescope collimation can begin.
This kit provides a precise reference point for your laser collimators and Cheshire eyepieces, taking the guesswork out of alignment.
The acetate template is engineered to quickly and accurately locate the dead center of primary mirrors up to 12.5 inches in diameter.
Includes high-visibility triangle center-marking spots that align perfectly with the circular view of a Cheshire eyepiece.
Using these triangular spots makes it much easier to achieve perfect centering compared to standard round dots.
This standalone kit is perfect for astronomers who already have collimation tools but need a fresh template and extra center spots.
