TS 9mm OAG and lodestar
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I must surrender to the flexure gods and just get an OAG....
I'm using a newt, with CCD/filter wheel and a Baader MPCC.... so spacing is critical (and tight!).
I've currently got a 10mm spacer screwed between filter wheel and the MPCC, and this gives me the right spacing between CCD and MPCC. Its actually a couple of mm short, but doesn't seem to affect things on my small chip.
This 10mm spacer lives inside the focuser drawtube.
I have a spare 25mm or so of focuser travel.
The TS OAG is 9mm thick, I assume adaptors will add a bit to this....
Is anyone using the TS OAG with a lodestar - if so, what adaptors do I need to connect reliably??
Any thoughts on the TS OAG? - I've read a few favourable reviews, any local stuff?
I figure if this ends up turning to custard, I'll be able to use it all on whatever refractor/RC I end up replacing the newt with! I really like this scope, I just want round stars....
