SVX140T/FT35/SFFR.72 with Optec motorized focuser


SVX140T/FT35/SFFR.72 with Optec motorized focuser

I just attached Optec ThirdLynx QuickSync FTX40 on FT35 of SVX140T and decided to switch from SFFX-2 flattener to the SFFR.72 flattener/reducer. I added the available 55mm length extension tube between FT and SFFR.72 so I shouldn’t need to rack-out focuser as far. Now I need to determine and set travel span ‘steps’ in FocusLynx software for 4.5” of focuser travel and get everything focused. Pretty soon the new scope will be ready for imaging. The SVX140T is top scope (nearest roof) in this photo.
