Yes the cables run across the aperture just as with any Hyperstar set up. There is a trick to running the cables. If you run the cables in a curved configuration like in Gerald's picture here the result will be a nice image without odd diffraction spikes, which is what you're likely to get when running the cables off in a straight line. |
Thanks - now I see how the Hyperstar works.
That's clever with the curves cables -
just like a curved spider in a Newt.
If you cut the power to the fan on the Peltier cooler the
temperature will rise.
You would increase the thermal noise.
Maybe at f2.2 you wouldn't notice the disturbed air in the light path?
Really - you need to have the camera attached to the rear as in a classical Cassegrain or RC scope.
I don't like the design of this new telescope.
