Question
Dirty Harris
Dear Guylain, or anyone at all, has anyone in the Forum had any exposure to the Coronado 40mm PST double stacked 0.5 Ha telescope coupled with a T-3 (1100) or similar Canon camera? My real concern is the focus travel of the scope. Whether or not one can obtain adequate focus with this lash-up. I currently use the T-3 Rebel with a Tele-vue powermate 2.5X on my Celestron 11" fork mounted SCT and a white light filter for solar observation. Along with capture in BYE. This works very well for the most part, but I am trying to go to Hydrogen/alpha for more resolution and detail. I've read reviews of the scope itself, and most of them are very favorable, but none have shown the line-up of scope and camera combo. I would piggyback the PST on my 11" SCT for tracking the Sun and attach the camera to the receiver for the eyepiece using the proper adaptor and T-ring. This would work for mounting, but I worry about focus travel length? If anyone has used this or similar combinations, please let me know if it works or not, perhaps even post a photo or two? Thanks, clear skies, and regards, Dirty Harris Co.USA.
