Kamera-Tilter

No one could answer if the the FCCT II would work with the newer QHY 286C Short Back Focal Length version of their camera which has the same back focus and mounting flange as the 268M which is 12.5mm. I took the gamble and ordered the combination and it worked! I think I had an older version of the FCCT II as I did have to provide my own M2x20mm screws to connect the camera to the FCCT II but I am very happy now with this as I have eliminated all tilt from my RASA 8! The only problem is finding filters that will work with OSC cameras that will fit in the filter trays so I ordered the Baader UHS-C Nebula Booster 2" and Baader Neodymium 2" which will replace my IDAS NBZ and LPS-D3. Baader please create a dual narrowband filter like the NBZ for all of us OSC users out there! Thanks!

Dass am RASA 8 f2.0 nur 22mm Chip Diagonale bestens funktionieren sollen, kann ich hier wiederlegen; Die QHY 268M hat 28,5mm und das Bild ist der Chip der QHY 268M am Rasa , ohne crop! Die NGC 2903 als LRGB! Nur 400mm Brennweite! Kann man damit Galaxien aufnehmen? Ja, wenn das System gut funktioniert, sind alle größeren Gx kein Problem. Hier die NGC 2903 in 50% der originalen Größe als LRGB. Belichtet mit dem RASA 8 f2.0 + Baader FCCT + QHY 268M insgesamt 147min; Mount: CGX und Autoguiding StarAID-B CS, Christoph

FCCT II was supplied with the wrong M2 screws for use with my 294, however the original screws were just about long enough to be reused, I have had to order some that are the correct length. Original screws are 12mm, supplied screws are 10mm. The results however have been great, I set it up in the defaul position and the tilt is almost completely eliminated, I don't think it's even worth trying to adjust it, as it's near perfect and much better than I was getting from the standard camera adapter.

Das Baader M68 ist ein System, das viele Wünsche einfach und mit hoher Stabilität erfüllt. Alle Abstände lassen sich präzise einstellen, und mit dem Baader M68-Tilter ist eine geniale Erweiterung des Systems dazugekommen. Mit dem M68-Tilter lässt sich das gesamte System justieren; wenn der M68-Tilter mit der Kamera abgenommen wird, bleibt die Justage auch beim Kamerawechsel erhalten. Mit dem Tilter bietet das M68-System nun nicht nur die Möglichkeit, auch schweres Zubehör stabil und vignettierungsfrei zu befestigen, sondern wird um die Möglichkeit der einfachen und stabilen Justage erweitert.

Collimation is difficult task. Baader has provided me a prototype of the FCCT and I am excited, cause now the the collimation process is easy. The FCCT consists of three elements, adapter ring for fixing to RASA, collimation unit (with filter slider) The FCCT is screwed to the camera. The camera can be tilted by a maximum of 0.4 to 0.5 mm. Backfocus without camera, 21.5 mm, with camera 28.0 mm. There are 3 pairs of screws at 120° distance, which can be used to do movements in all directions (lateral movement and vertical movement). It is a very cool und helpfull utility. The FCCT might be interesting for all RASA 8 users. You see image results and more information on my website https://www.pixlimit.com
