looking for a new cc
any chance anyone has a 2.5'' cc and a moonlight ?
thinking about getting this , my moon light does have a 68 mm x1mm female thread , i'm guessing i screw the cc in about 5 mm, then theres a 2mm ring which will be the hard stop then screw on the filter wheel, it's the lack of diamentions shown which is my problem , i need to know how much machined m68x1 thread there is on the cc .
that's option a .
https://www.apm-telescopes.de/en/optica ... connection
i was looking at the teleview paracorr 2 ,images online are also lacking dimensions, specifically the adapter ring it comes with, i know a few people here have the teleview, what is the actualy backfocus with the ring?,it looks like you can't actualy use it without it , that's if you're working with minimal backfocus.
https://www.televue.com/engine/TV3b_pag ... &Tab=_phot
the teleview results looks nice and is more flexiable if i change scopes , but i think it is lacking enough backfocus .. it has 90% illumination for aps size chip, i plan to go full frame down the track so i might be better of with 2.5'' cc.
while i'm at it, any other known good high end correctors out there in 2'' or 2.5'' should be aware of ? using a f4 newt.

Re: looking for a new cc
I suspect that my Paraccorr II is the cause of strong vignetting at the edges of my Aps/C sized ASI2600MM/C, also for a 12" F/ 4 Newt. It works but just barely. So I would go for the 2.5" one. Otherwise the Paracor II works very well so I'm not complaining, flats take care of the vignetting. If you want I can check out the exact dimensions but I would not get one in your case.

Cheers Henk, I'm going to email ts optics about the 2.5", I'll have to pull apart my imaging gear and make sure things fit.

Re: looking for a new cc
order in for a TS Optics Riccardi 2.5" Wynne!,all the adapters check out on my imageing train , the only thing i might need to do is move the mirror up or machine down the focuser base about 10mm,an easy job to do.purchased from teleskop which is in germany i think, i've orderd from them before . can't wait to have flawless mosiacs, it's been such a pain doing 4+ panels ,usualy 1 panel won't align with the distortion correction and i end up bluring the stars or doing star removal.

Re: looking for a new cc
i got my corrector, turns out i didn't have the 68mm adapter i thought i orderd when i got the filterwheel, i guess i'll machine something up.. the thing is a monster xd , the lens cap it came with didnt fit on it due to big convex element on the end ..

Re: looking for a new cc
I sure hope it works for you! I see they have a 3" for E100 more. These CCs sure become monsters that kind of reduce the cost benefit of a Newt. The results will probably be pretty good I bet. Keep us posted and good luck with making the adapter.

i chiped my coma corrector ,gently touched the back lense with my very sharp digital calipers ...
ive rotated the chip so it sits over the pick off prism ,hope i don't get any scaterd reflections ..

Re: looking for a new cc
Ouch! I know that from my Paracorr II, it is somewhat frightening to see how exposed it is. Yours almost looks like a larger copy. It doesn't take much to scratch it. Every time I handle it to get it in the focuser that's all that I'm thinking about. I hope the fix works for you, I think it will.
BTW that adapter that you've milled looks nice, if that's what it is.

Re: looking for a new cc
I gave it a little test on m42 and sirus, doesn't seem to be any scattered light or shadows casting onto my cmos , given the small chip is almost near the edge of the corrector,that part of the light cone probably doesn't reach my camera, I tested it width diamentions on my cmos so hopefully not a problem with a full frame down the road.
I filled the chip with black permanent marker to avoid scatterd light from the defect , I just need to machine down 15mm off my focuser to reach focus correctly, so hopefully back to imaging again on the weekend, it was pretty clear Tonight.

Re: looking for a new cc
spent a few hours adjusting .. i have a feeling that my secondary needs to come down just a smidge more, the tilt adapter will not get that last bit out, it is futher more a collimation problem atm i think . other then that ,a chipped corrector with a little black paint works as good as new xd
