Hi, having read a lot about corrected Dall-Kirkham's recently, I was wondering if anyone (either commercially or ATM) was working on a corrector/flatenner (not reducer necessarily) for the Tak Mewlons. I own a Tak Mewlon 250 and it produces stunning results on axis, as one would expect given Tak quality and the DK design.
Hi David, I'm aware of that one, has anyone used it visually? It would be relatively easy to have an AP 2" extender tapped for the threads on the Takahashi0.8x reducer/field flattener/corrector, but will it work and will it come to focus?
Actually, my views with my 35mm Panoptic seem good, my 22mm Panoptic (which has been my favorite eyepiece for some time) is more bothersome. For example I can bring Jupiter and it's moons in the 22mm Pan and notice coma on the moons. In my C11, the moons were nice round little pinpoints, but the on axis views of the planet were not in the same league as the Mewlon. A visual flattener/corrector would seem to be just the ticket as long as it did not degrade on axis performance.
Reading the Japanese/English translation it appears to be only for the larger Mewlons; that is, the 250 and 300. It also looks like a retrofit of the baffle is required?
