Edge HD + Baader Steeltrack + Celestron OAG ??

[Skipper Billy]

Does anyone know if its possible to use an Edge HD + Baader Steeltrack + Celestron OAG all together ???

TIA

I see no reason why not, plenty of back focus on the edge to get close, then fine focus with the Baader, OAG’s commonly used with SCT…I would say all good…

I have used a similar set up with a Meade 8” SCT without issue

You may need a really sensitive guide camera though with an OAG at those SCT focal lengths…the ASI174m mini is an excellent choice…👍🏼

Thanks Stuart

I am planning to repurpose my Lodestar.

Yes, that’s perfect for this set up, nice big pixels….and a good 1/2” sensor…👍🏼
