The latter two have to have the focuser racked out a lot further than with the SWCC. If i could, id like to try a larger focuser on the quattro to rule out whether it's vignetting caused by the 2" focuser or not. Thanks though, for now, I'll have to crop when using the f3 Nexus with the 2600mm, or perhaps drop back to 1600mm 4/3 sensor.
That’s great to know. Hopefully with that mirror freed up things will resolve themselves If not I’m part of a small messenger group chat called the “Newt Rehab Support Group”! Many a Newt has been saved from ending up at the bottom of a nearby swimming pool!!!
