“Hello - are the mirrors and components sealed at the factory minimizing or even eliminating the need to collimate, or is collimation necessary to keep the components aligned?”

• The StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ's optical system (mirrors) are collimated (not sealed) at the factory prior to shipping. However, due to the nature of Newtonian reflective optics, they may become misaligned due to vibrations, during transport, and through normal usage.
