Other ideas

Hi Jorge,

Another idea, though more expensive, would be to use something like an OCS unit from Denkmeier (www.denkmeier.com) to extend the focal point further out. Depending on the amount of inward focus you have available these types of unit will allow you to achieve focus on a camera that wouldn't normally focus.

I use the OCS unit (which is the "corrector" element from the front of the binoviewer) screwed straight into the 2" camera adapter and my scopes will reach focus with a Canon DSLR without moving (and somewhat de-stabilizing) the primary.

The OCS also has the benefit of coma correcting the field as well, but it does add a slight magnification factor to the focal length. Possibly a TV Paracorr or the like might also do the trick depending on your focusers available travel.

All that said, springs are cheaper though.

Regards,
Rob
