Tutorial: Setup of an off-axis adapter

[Astrofriend]

Hi,
When you for the first time setup an off-axis adapter it can be confusing, at least it was for me. I have written down a tutorial that maybe can be of some help:

http://www.astrofriend.eu/astronomy/tutorials/tutorial-setup-off-axis-adapter/01-tutorial-setup-off-axis-adapter.html

I will edit and do some complement in the text later.

A question to all you that already have an off-axis adapter, what make and model do you have ? Are you satisfaid with it ?

Hi,

Sorry, I updated the tutorial today, but didn't add new pages, added it on the pages that was already there.

http://www.astrofriend.eu/astronomy/tutorials/tutorial-setup-off-axis-adapter/01-tutorial-setup-off-axis-adapter.html

I don't use the off-axis adapter anymore that you see in the examples. I need a new bigger off-axis adapter.

 

Maybe I built that in the future, it could be built around this:

But all the adapters needed to it will cost some money, so I wait. Until then I have to going back to a separate guide telescope. You can see it on these pages:

Do you have plans to implement an off-axis adapter ?
