150PDS, Baader ClickLock

[SAW]

Hi,

Can you still get focus using a dslr & Baader coma corrector with the Baader ClickLock ? Want to replace the standard cr*p Skywatcher 2" draw tube clamp.

I got a Baader ClickLock for my 200PDS, but had to return it - couldn't move the camera sufficiently inwards to achieve focus with it

Am using SkyWatcher's 0.9 CC, so can't say if it's different with a Baader CC

Hi

The SW needs around 10mm more inward travel than the Baader. The Baader and gpu focus at about the same position as without glass, the GSO about 20mm further outward. 

It's strange that cc focus position isn't published anywhere; it's make or break unless you like telescope DIY.

Best to go along to a club and try them.

@Erling G-P you'd probably find that you'd be able to reach focus with the other ccs mentioned as they don't need any further inward travel.

That is interesting - thanks!  I really liked the ClickLock, but just couldn't use it.
