Paul,
I’m interested to know how your going to set up your new 2600MM in your newt
Are you using a ZWO filter drawer as a filter wheel will be like a dead elephant hanging off the side front of the newt.
Also the only way to maintain approx 55mm between coma corrector and sensor is to go Camera > spacer > coma corrector > filter drawer > 24mm spacer adapter. That arrangement also has the camera out on a “mast” on a yacht too
At the moment my set up for the 2600MC on both my newts is Camera > adapters > 1mm spacer ring > Baader MPCC CC > 2” L Extreme filter. This arrangement is ok as the camera is not sticking out to far like a mast.
Await your advise and set up
Of course the above is irrelevant if your not using a conventional newt but using an RC , CDK or SCT etc... where everything hangs off the rear like a refractor
I thought you bought a conventional 8” f4 newt ??
Cheers
Martin
