view with ruler showing the 4" total length from focal to FR.


Similar setup but ready for smaller SCTs, by using a 2" barrel adapter, including C9.25 for which this would be optimal


another view but with f6.3 FR attached

View of 2" diagonal and shortened 2" barrel.


2" diagonal inserted into 2" Back. Note the F6.3 reducer threaded into the visual back.


Camera side view of Lumicon NEG


Note large prism. Should be perfect for C-9.25


Note: very compact size of the NEG


Scope side of NEG

Custom 50mm finder. It will accept any 1.25" EP.


An experimental image of M81 and M82 taken with a 10"  F10 Meade SCT, Celestron f6.3 R/C,
my custom 2" visual back and a Lumicon NEG. This image represents the maximum possible field
achievable with the R/C in a given OTA as there is absolutely no vignetting in the image other than the
R/C itself and the SLR T-Adapter. 75 minutes with Ekatachrome 1600.
