To all:
I would like to know a few more measurements for specifically the Visual Paracorr model which comes with the taller 0.379" high 1.25" to 2" eyepiece adapter:
CAUTION / WARNING: Whatever anyone willing to undertake these measurements may do to achieve them, please do not scratch your Paracorr in the process.
1) With the Paracorr at setting #1, what is the distance from the top (eyepiece shoulder) to the first (eye) lens element (on axis if possible).
2) Ditto for setting #3
3) Ditto for setting #5
(and ditto with bonus points for settings #2 and #4 if you are brave)
For those less brave (or should I say foolhardy), simply providing the total tunable top span distance from setting #1 to setting #5 would be a great help (I.E. the total travel distance of the tunable top itself, which is the measure of the gain in overall length of the Paracorr). Another great help would be answering if the individual settings gain distance linearly, or non linearly (in which latter case knowing the actual gain in height (length) for each setting would be great).
