Fullerscopes Telescope Mountings

This blog has become my ATM design, build and imaging diary. I have recently built several new telescopes, a large equatorial mounting and a raised 10' [3m] dome on an octagonal building. Be aware that I deal with building solar telescopes. Which are potentially VERY dangerous! I can accept NO responsibility for any action not directly supervised by myself. You are NOT entitled to blame any other person for your OWN lack of skill or ignorance. You copy me at your own peril!

Tuesday 16th 08.45 62/60F, full sun forecast all day. The last vestiges of the AR rotate out of sight. Just a ripple on the lower SW limb.

Trying the 2x WO Barlow for more scale. I am still confused about the T-S GPCs and 2x WO Barlow nosepiece. The WO is much weaker than the TS 1.6x when I look though them side by side.

I later checked the image scale of a prom and the order remained 1.6x, 2x and 2.6x.

I have already confirmed that the 2.6x TS GPC does not neutralize the GPL of the T-S binoviewer. It leaves a 20mm shortfall. Which could be vitally important if it avoids shortening a commercial refractor tube.
