C8 black ota xlt corrector markings

[ahlberto]

Hi.I have a OTA sn S16449 and it has this etched marks on the sides of the corrector plate.Does it tell the in-out orientation?If someone has one of this black XLT otas,the point of the V shaped arrow point to the primary or out?

THanks in advance

I don't know for sure but the usual convention is for the V to point towards the sky. It wouldn't take long to try it out as it is, if wrong it should spoil the image.

Indeed i saw a good nunber of fotos with the V pointing to the sky and others pointing to the primary mirror.MIne points to the primary mirror but i would like to know if anyone has this particular black type of C8 (photto) and if the V on theyrs point to the primary too.The in -out orientation is more confusing...i can tell you ive made the experience and reversed the corrector and it permormed flaulessly giving tack sharp jupiters and beeing even the best scope on the star party,so to mi its a bit confusing this in out orientation thing

Going by the size of the black parts on either side of the plate (the central obstruction), i'd say the open wide part of the V points outwards towards the sky.

If the secondary assembly has never been removed from the corrector plate then there is obviously only one way round it can go.

HI .I know the secondary housing is on place and you can tell wich side is.My question is if if you have this black OTAs and if you have,wich side the V points.Thanks
