Thanks for replying
I currently have a 6” f6 newt and don’t need a CC , stars are nice and round I’m getting a second scope 8” f5 to image at my dark site
Andy
Very impressive image , is your 10”newt an f4 or custom f4 to f5 ?
Chris
There’s a lot of dissatisfied users of the Baader CC on various forums across the globe , are you saying that it works good enough for you but didn’t exceed your expectations ?
Bojan
You probably wouldn’t expect to see coma pushing towards an f6

I’m happy to pay for the Paracorr 2 but it pushes your focal length out by 1.15x
and they are quite heavy around 0.5kg which all adds to your payload ( I assume the Baader would be half that weight - can’t find specs on its weight )
I also read somewhere in Televues site that using a Paracorr 2 on a scope with under 1200mm focal length may cause some field curvature ?
I’m a huge fan of Televue and have Panoptic, Delos and Ethos eye pieces so would be happy to use the Paracorr 2 but still a bit confused

Does anyone else have experience with either the Baader or Paracorr 2 coma corrector for imaging with newts

Cheers
