Collimators support the collimation process of telescopes. With the help of a collimator it is easier to determine whether a good collimation has been achieved. This is possible because the optical alignment is concentrically framed and clarified with the aid of a cross pattern such as in a cheshire eyepiece or with the aid of a projected light pattern such as in a laser collimator.
Mirror telescopes are easiest to adjust with a laser collimator. In practice this works the simplest. A more budget-friendly but in practice more difficult to use is a cheshire eyepiece. A visual assessment must be made as to whether collimation has been achieved and more experience is desirable.
If collimation is crucial, as with high-resolution moon and planetary photography, HoTech offers a complete collimation setup. With this, a perfect collimation can be achieved at ease and in good daylight. This offers a lot of added value, especially with SCT and RC telescopes.

Goede kwaliteit van product, nadelen zijn de battery cover en de polar scope illuminator, die beiden van plastic gemaakt zijn en niet een stevige indruk maken. De battery cover zat eerst vast bij mijn SWSAii, werd snel gefixt in de winkel zonder enig probleem. Zeer gemakkelijk om te gebruiken, denk wel aan een stevig statief voor het kopen van deze startracker.
Deze kabel speciaal voor een astrovakantie gekocht. De aanwezige montering had nog een DB9 aansluiting. De asi air werkt prima met de kabel, geen enkel probleem gehad. Aanrader!
I love this EQMOD Cable, because I can use all my "old" software on my Windows Computer without any change. EQMOD is my ACSOM driver for years now.
I mainly use APT, SharpCap, and Cartes du Ciel.
Thank You for a woderful product at a fair price.

Since many years I own a high-quality 102 mm refractor which I used on a very old mount which had tracking in RA but nothing else. And it was ok to use the refractor visually, but you shouldn't touch anything... I always dreamt of a light-weight mount to step up a bit. An important criterion was that it shouldn't be too big and heavy - I want all my equipment in one Zarges box, 80 x 40 x 40 cm3. I found the perfect mount with the AVX. It is probably stable enough to hold a much larger telescope - with my 102 mm refractor it is rock solid. The handbox is nice and compact, which I prefer to some of the competitors. I even started using the Goto, even though I am almost 60 years old, but it is simple and works well. Note: Do *not* buy the polar scope. At least in NL you can't really look through it, as the adjustment knob for the elevation is in the way (see the picture attached). You don't really need it anyway, as the handbox allows to align the polar axis. Summary: I am happy, and the price is reasonable too.
Ik begrijp niet waarom een scope als deze word beschouwd als beginners….er zijn plenty mensen die ver gevorderd zijn,die een prachtige scope als deze gebruiken.
The quality of this scope is amazing and it is strong when it comes to viewing or/and taking footage of the moon planets or even nebulas…using either a smartphone or deep sky camera….
So 5 stars for Robtics and this telescope
Fijne telescoop voor astrofotografie.
De finderscope leek onscherp en na contact met Robtics bleek de zoeker scherp te stellen door het voorste zwarte gedeelte te draaien en weer vast te zetten met aandrukring.
Je hebt wel echt een coma corrector nodig.
