Officina Stellare Veloce RH 200 first light

Posted By Maciej Kapkowski

My Veloce RH-200 is equipped with standard focuser ( FineFocus?). Is is quite good and not bending with STL11k. I made myself adapter for Robofocus and its all together working just perfect.
I have photos and drawings for laser cut of metal plate to install robo and I can send them if somebody needs.
Veloce dont need temperature compensation smile and its true. Even if temperature drop down 8-10 Celsjus I cant see any FWHM dramatic changes. So you need to focus just once for the filter.
Of course f/3 system is quite challenging is collimation.
Best
