Hi Lester, thanks for the update - good to hear you got it working. I purchased a vixen flit mirror but it has too much length for my set up. Lester how "square" or well aliged do you find the mirror? I'm thinking I would like to use this shorter OAG version for both dslr imaging with my refractor and planetary imaging with a newtonian. The latter of which I have a little trouble placing planets on my DBK chip. I'm thinking that centering the planet using an illuminated EP on the OAG then "flipping" the mirror (sliding it out in this case) would help with my planetary imaging process.
Hi Steve, I think this would work well for aligning objects. Although the prism only picks up some of the light and not the whole FOV. I use to use a Meade 2" flip mirror for what you are trying, but that was huge in size and added the chance of sag in the set-up.
Thanks for the advice Lester. Yes, it will only pick up a small amount of light and not the entire FOV as a traditional flip mirror will do. Somthing to think about.
