  • David Astro Collimation Knobs for Celestron C6 SCT

    The David Astro Collimation Knobs for Celestron C6 SCT replace the small collimation screws of the C6 secondary mirror, so you can collimate by hand without a screwdriver or hex key.

    Tool-Free C6 Collimation

    SCT collimation is done by small adjustments to the secondary mirror while watching a defocused star. With knobs in place of the screws you can make those adjustments by hand at night, with no tool to drop onto the corrector plate.

    Install One at a Time

    Replace the screws one at a time, so the secondary mirror stays supported throughout the change.

  • Why replace the stock screws with knobs?

    The stock screws need a tool, which is awkward in the dark and can slip onto the corrector plate. Knobs let you collimate by hand.

    How do I install them safely?

    Remove one stock screw, thread in one knob and snug it gently. Repeat for each remaining screw, never removing more than one at a time.

    Will they fit other Celestron SCTs?

    They are made for the Celestron C6. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm it for you.

    Do I still need tools to collimate after installing them?

    No. Secondary mirror adjustments are then made by hand.
