Skywatcher Flip Mirror Imaging Diagonal

Designed for convenient CCD imaging. The device has a 1.25" nosepiece, threaded for standard filters on one end, which is inserted into a telescope focuser, and an M42x0.75 T-mount thread on the other end to connect a suitable CCD camera. A 1.25" helical focusing eyepiece tube is provided for visual observations.

Photography
Firstly the camera is mounted and focused with a bright star. Then, the internal lever-operated mirror is angled at 45 degrees to channel the light path to the eyepiece, which is focused with the fine adjustment. Now the image is centered.

In imaging mode, the mirror is taken out of the light path to direct the light path to the camera.

An adapter to accept cameras with 1.25" nosepieces is available separately.

Backfocus

An additional optical path of 80 mm is needed.
