COLLIMATE YOUR SCHMIDT-CASSEGRAIN STYLE OR NEWTONIAN STYLE TELESCOPE WITHOUT TOOLS
It′s easy . . . just grab a Bob′s Knob and turn. You can even do it while looking
through the eyepiece on most scopes. And you′ll never drop that pesky little Allen wrench
or screwdriver into the grass again. Installation is a snap with the included instructions, and
you can undo the modification at any time.
Fits: All Meade 8 inch (20 cm) f/10 SCT and RCT versions with six screws on the secondary
housing (LX90, LX200, LX200-ACF). The inner screws are for collimation.
Knobs: Black plastic, 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter
Threads: Black anodized aluminum alloy
Note1: The factory dust cover should fit normally with Bob′s Knobs installed. If
your dust cover contacts the knobs, we provide a set of spacers that attach to the inside of the
dust cover to move it slightly away from the secondary assembly. Contact us for a free set. You
can also press the center of the cover from the inside to contour it for additional clearance.
Note2: See our FAQ for additional information on installing Bob′s Knobs on Meade
telescopes with six factory secondary screws.
Note3: Earlier Meade 8 inch (20 cm) telescopes have three screws on the secondary housing.
These scopes require different knobs. Do not use knobs for the 6-screw secondary on the 3-screw
secondary. The screws on these knobs are too long.
Note4: Some very early Meade 8 inch (20 cm) model 2080 telescopes have two collimation
screws. Please contact us for knobs to fit this scope.
Note5: We will provide a free Allen wrench for removing the factory collimation screws
upon request. Put your request in the remarks section of your order, or send us an email with
your postal address and the model of your Meade SCT.
