"Just got in from a three and half hour session outside. Went wonderfully!

This new mirror cell collimates much, much easier than the stock cell. I had no difficulty getting the scope well collimated. And I either had a night of great seeing, or these modifications have significantly improved the image quality that I'm getting from the scope." - Mike J. 

    
Reposition the primary mirror with this tube extender cell.

Custom designed to your preferred distance back, attaches to OTA using your tube's existing bolt holes. Reduces torque on the focuser. Open back design facilitates quick mirror cooling. Collimation bolts allow fine tuning. Cells are flat black.

Integrated mirror retaining ring eliminates star flaring (compare before/after).
Mirror support point positions calculated to provide optimal support/performance.

For up to 10" imaging Newtonian telescopes. After receiving your order we will e-mail dimensional questions for designing the cell. After designing we provide a PDF with dimensions for your review and approval or revision.
