How to attach an Atik CCD to a SW coma corrector

[Black Knight]

I have just acquired an Atik 16iC CCD (thanks PsychoBabbler ), and would like to be able to attach it to my Skywatcher Coma Corrector for my newt, and to my SW Focal Reducer for my SW ED80.

Does anyone know if a suitable adapter exists? I've had a scout around and I can't seem to find what I would need, although I may have missed it, or gone simply blind or stoopid, or both .

What do other people use?

Thanks,

What's the thread on the CC?? Baader sell a wide range of adaptors for various threads to T thread. You may also need some spacers ( I assume there's a "design" backfocus distance)...

I think the thread is M48. Well, at least the DSLR adapters which attach to the CC and FR are described as being DSLR-M48.

Baader have a # 2458110 - M48 to T thread....then some spacers?

For the fov it would cover, i think you can get away without using a coma corrector...

Actually you're probably right about that

Thanks for that Merlin66, I'll have a gander. I think Deneb may have a point though, that this may be something I don;t really need to be too concerned about. Well, until I can afford a large format CCD anyway ... which will be never

inc. the ed80 as well, try without the reducer/flattener.

I will, if this cloud ever clears . Thanks Deneb.
