IMO, that’s the way to go. |
Thanks Jason, all very helpful and thanks for the link to CN, I'll take a peek.
The standard Tak OEM 2" Adapter takes up just over 50mm of back focus and I just removed it and replaced it with my JMI EV Motorised Focuser (from my C9.25) and it takes up some 75mm, which pushes me way beyond the Tak recommendation of 105-118mm with FW and Camera fitted.
Hmm, decisions, decisions...
Cheers
Dennis
