Prime Focus Help

Posted By Robert Watters
In most cases moving the primary up is the easiest solution. Another alternative would be to swap out the focuser for a low profile one (if it doesn't all ready have one).
At prime focus you're going to have a lot of stars in there. I would maybe try low power eye-piece projection to narrow the field down some, plus focus shouldn't be an issue. Only problem is you'll need a brighter variable star to minimize the exposure time since you have no tracking.

Flowers from S.Florida...

Very nice Ivan!
We lived near Atlanta GA. for 3-1/2 years (late 80's). I kick myself in the rear every time I think about how close we were to Florida and never made the trip!
Someday. smile
