Hi can anyone advise please
I will soon be the proud owner of a Takahashi FSQ-85EDX and was wondering if anyone had a similar set up as mine and could advise on spacing etc
My setup will be the Tak. with the Takahashi reducer a Atik EFW 2 filter wheel and the Atik 460ex camera.
A very kind, helpful (some would say insane )friend has lent me her FSQ-85EDX but I'm having problems using her focuser with my set up and SGPro.
I will be adding the Primaluce Sesto Senso working with my Eagle 3 when I get my scope but in the meantime I would like to use my friends scope to get in idea of what my images in my location will be like so I can compare it to the GT81 I have. So I'm trying to get the space from where the focuser tube enters the body of the scope past the reducer to the body of the Atik filter wheel, (also which spaces different mounting connectors they may use )
Im guessing the space from the chip through the filter wheel will not need to be changes, I assume the spacers etc fitted to the reducer are require to achieve focus and make sure focal point falls precisely on the chip as is required like when using GT81
Sorry if I haven't explained correctly please post any questions if you need more information
