Modified Meade SN10 for Full Frame Camera

[avandonk]

I have finally got my Meade SN10 to have a flat distortion free field for the full frame Canon 5DH. I have fitted a Borg helical focuser and bits including a filter box. Once aligned (by eyeometer) I got the result below. Four minutes at 400ISO jpg straight out of the camera. The thing that makes the field flat and coma free is a Tele Vue PLU-1106 Paracorr.

Looks good bert.. perhaps a tiny bit of vignetting, but nothing that cant be handled... Stars sure are tak sharp right to the outer corners...

Looks like its ready for a big test

Looks like some fun nights ahead Bert!
Have you seen the SN mod where by they move the corrector plate forwards to give a flatter field, don`t know if they work using full frame but?
