Hey there. I see a lot of people here have stuff from baader and thus maybee can give me an advise.
I have bought the Baader Maxbright bino with two sets of eyepieces and worked quite well with that on my Celestron C8
Nexstar.
Then I received an obssesion 18 f 4.2 UC. I ofcourse knew that this setup would not work and ordered the 1.8 glasweg corrector and coma unit.
Sorry to say I could not focus this configuration. It needs about 1 inch inward travel. The Baarder service people told me that this must be due to the construction of the scope since they had not heard about any scope that could not focus with this combination. I reargued that I konw from the
Yahoo forums that Denk and the OCS works like a charm with the UC.
So where do I go from here ? Leaving an investment around 1000 $ is not an option I like to consider. My only solution
so far is to prolong the length between the bino head and the glas corrector with some T2 extions which both units will accept. My concern is if this will actually focus becaus bringing the corrector one inch more into the lightcone might render to much light loss. Any advise or hints ?
Regards
Lars Nielsen
