It's not really a big deal. Scott's paper is pretty comprehensive, and it may look like a lot of work at first sight. Here's a short version if you prefer not...
I don't think there is one of us here who hasn't had some similar mistake. I work at Microsoft and live and breath this stuff everyday and still do things like...
Thanx Scott, think you refer to this....http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/filters/fltsct.htm this might be the best solution then, if the FF-focal distance ...

It has a doublet with about a +711mm focal length. The website says it is a .8 reducer. I have not done the calculation, but I assume it is close to that. The...
Hi, Here is my impression of the lines and models... The Megrez series came before the Zenithstar series chronologically. It was a white painted tube, and was...

I've travelled many times on airlines with two small scopes placed in a customized carry-on bag (dimension ~H 18" x W 13.5" x D 9"). I'm thinking of greatly...
Does anyone know the optimum spacing FR-to-CCD-chip for the new SCT 0.8 FR/FF used with the Z66 SD? For the 80mm FR WO lists 52.mm spacing from back of FR to...

The ZS110 case from WO is about 28"x9x9 (quick measurement with a ruler) and it would certainly fit easily in the overhead. Goodness knows what they are ...
Attaching the new SCT FR directly to the CFW-8 filter wheel which is attached directly to the ST2000XM camera (ie as close as you can get the chip to the FR...
