I find that I have roughly three inches when focused at infinity using my SBIG STL series camera. Still, it sounds like the Tracker III uses up an awful lot! 4 inches is a ton of space, and I'm not at all certain the VC200L could handle that much. The back focus on this scope is much closer to three inches than four. -------------------- - Jared Willson Fluorostar FLT-110 w/ TEC optics Vixen VC200L Astro-Physics Mach1 GTO Stellarvue SV80S Takahashi Teegul SP Mount STL-11000 Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on VC200L BACKFOCUS phedias 07/01/08 12:24 PM Re: VC200L BACKFOCUS Jared   08/06/08 11:41 AM Re: VC200L BACKFOCUS phedias   08/06/08 01:35 PM Re: VC200L BACKFOCUS Jared   08/17/08 09:57 PM Re: VC200L BACKFOCUS Dennis_Oz   08/06/08 11:37 PM Re: VC200L BACKFOCUS Eddy   08/07/08 05:11 AM Extra information 2 registered and 3 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
