Farpoint Laser Collimator 635nm (2-1.25 inch)

All Farpoint laser collimators have a LIFE TIME Alignment Guarantee. We will realign any Farpoint laser collimator for free! But Farpoint lasers keep their factory alignment. This is due to our robust laser body and (most importantly) our unique alignment screw design explained below.

Farpoint lasers have EIGHT alignment screws instead of six, four, or even three as in some other lasers. Instead of a staggered arrangement (top hole, bottom hole, top hole) that can allow the diode to move, BOTH ends of the laser diode are held in place by two sets of directly opposing screws for precise and lasting alignment. Again, only Farpoint lasers have this superior alignment screw arrangement with four DIRECTLY OPPOSING screws aligning the top of the laser diode and another four DIRECTLY OPPOSING screws aligning the bottom of the laser diode.

Farpoint laser bodies are precisely machined from a single piece of aluminum in a single machining step, resulting in perfect alignment.

Farpoint lasers have a small aperture (0.76mm or 30/1000 of an inch) for less speckling and more precise reading of the laser beam’s position on the telescope mirror. Farpoint has the smallest aperture of any laser in the amateur astronomy market.

Farpoint Laser Collimator 650nm (1.25 inch )

Farpoint Lift Carry Straps for GSO 10 Inch Dobs

These Lifting Straps make it easy to install or remove your OTA from the Base of your Bintel Dobsonian or most other Dobsonian telescopes with a 10″ diameter solid tube OTA. Sold as a pair, these two straps wrap around your OTA and secure with Velcro.

The built-in handle makes for a sure grip.

Placing the straps above and below the altitude bearings makes your OTA much easier to lift and maneuver.

Farpoint Lift Carry Straps for GSO 12 Inch Dobs

These Lifting Straps make it easy to install or remove your OTA from the Base of your Bintel Dobsonian or most other Dobsonian telescopes with a 14″ diameter solid tube OTA. Sold as a pair, these two straps wrap around your OTA and secure with Velcro.

The built-in handle makes for a sure grip.

Placing the straps above and below the altitude bearings makes your OTA much easier to lift and maneuver.

Farpoint Magnetic Bag Weight (1.5lb)

Often, if you have many accessories mounted, you need counterweights to balance the OTA of your Dobsonian telescope.

Farpoint’s magnetic bag weight (1.5lb) sticks securely to the steel OTA of many solid tube Dobsonians and is perfect for making fine balance adjustments.

The Cordura bag contains 1.5 pounds of lead shot heat-sealed in plastic. The extra strong Neodymium magnets allow you to place the weight exactly where you need it to perfectly balance your Dobsonian.

If you need more weight, you can add Farpoint’s FZ300 and FP315 stainless steel counterweights. But with or without additional steel weights, you will find that the FBW1.5 magnetic bag weight is perfect for making fine balance adjustments.

When you swap the eyepiece you are using for an eyepiece of different weight, just slide the FBW1.5 up or down on your OTA to restore your perfect balance!
