    Hi Nikolas, Cheers for checking mate, much appreciated Regards, Ahmed

    Hi mate, that's very well explained. Totally understand the process now. You're right, mine is a 4/3" sensor so puney as compared to your APS-H size. Last night i had to scratch my head over the fact on how to get the delrins on but finally managed to. A bit off topic, last night when i was trying to hunt for spacers at home something really weird and funny happened. I found one 11mm T2 extender that came with the camera and one 2mm male to male spacer that was attached to my EdgeHD 8 train. I know my achievable back focus on that is 105mm but turns out (and i don't know how i could've i've done it) my back focus was at 116mm lol. This pixel peeper didn't notice any issue in the images

    You truly were a great help here mate. Much appreciated. The professor is a prince amongst men I suppose I can add another 0.5mm one to get even more closer to these numbers rather than go over. I've never used Delrins before (up until 2 weeks ago I thought they were made out of metal ) so not sure it's a good idea to add more?

    Legend. Cheers mate. This is most certainly going to help loads I know what my filter thickness is and i was effectively adding the complete 1mm & 2mm thickness in the mix. So now i'm at : 54.8 out of 56mm required for my LRGB filters 55.17 out of 55.7mm required for my NB filters I can add a 1mm delrin bringing the numbers to 55.8 out of 56mm required for my LRGB filters 56.17 out of 55.7mm required for my NB filters. Is this going to be good/close enough? Hahahaha that whole reply made me chuckle no worries mate, you got that completely right about the male and female thread ?. I am very critical about my stars. Well when i say critical, i would like them round ... i promise i won't be a pixel peeper any more

    Mind if i can pick yours and @RayD's brain on the back focus? Tonight i was trying to piece through this puzzle of BF. I have found a few spacers in the house which came with either the ASI1600MM-C camera or the EFW but i have a few questions. 1) Is the FF (camera end) a male thread or a female thread? 2) How critical is it to achieve 55mm exact? 3) Can i be out by 0.5mm (My NB are 1mm thick filters putting the BF to 55.5mm) or 1.5mm (My LRGB filters are 2mm thick putting the BF to 56.5mm)? What's the most likely issue i might face? Thanks in advance

    Yeah i suppose. OR maybe have it 3D printed i'm always reluctant on using LRGB filters from my back garden. I do have them but i'm finding an excuse to use them at some point.

    Shitzer was hoping that some day i might stick a LP filter in it and start using the LRGB filters ... oh well, you win some, you lose some ... Cheers for clearing that up matey. Muchas gracias

    Ah, nice one mate. Yeah i saw this image on Modern Astronomy website so thought maybe it came with the older model or maybe this new design is a regional thing so asked Also what about provisioning for mounting a 2" filter inside the adapter/FF, is that true that Esprit 100 is the only Esprit size which doesn't have it?
  9. souls33k3r
    Sorry guys, quick question. I've read previously that the 100 is the only Esprit size which doesn't have provision for mounting a 2" filter inside the adapter/FF. Is that correct? and also, i can see that the size of the box that the newer Esprit 100 comes in is significantly smaller than the older version. Is that correct? Older version Esprit Box: Newer version Esprit Box:

    Hahahahaha it is a strange world and then you come back and it's been raining since morning. ? They way how I'm seeing this is we're in a transitional phase from summer to winter... During this phase it's most likely to rain than be clear so we can all catch up on sleep before the long winter nights. Soon, we'll be all spoilt mate

    @david_taurus83, i've got my scope exactly like @Davey-T has it in this picture because the focuser kept on hitting the Dec saddle. I'm glad Dave suggested me this because this also gives me nice and easy access to the focuser lock. Dave is a real life saver. Be like Dave

    I just burst into laughter while travelling back home on a packed train after seeing this.

    So no need for a grill then, just stick the sausages out of the window for a few minutes and perfect BBQ ? Safe travels brother
