Celestron C5: F-stop vs. T-stop

Posted By Tyler Allred

Alan,
I think I can perhaps answer your question best with two photos, taken 13 minutes apart, of the same subject, under very similar light conditions. These photos have been resized only.

First - with the AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 D ED...

Second - with the Nikon at prime focus of the C5, with the f/6.3 reducer corrector.

This is with the 70-300, at 300mm f/5.6 1/1600....
