Oil-spaced Refractors and Solar Observing

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hmmm....I'm interested in this for another reason. I was thinking of going with a premium APO for solar imaging with a Herschel Wedge. It was suggested that this setup might not be good with oil-spaced refractors. Since the use time is about 1/2-1 hr per session, I'm beginning to have questions about doing it also. I'd guess an air-spaced refractor might be better, but I know a guy who uses a AP super planetary 6" for his solar imaging. Thoughts?

Hi all,

I'm not sure where to ask this, or where to turn so I start here.

I'm using a 5 stop Orion manual filter wheel. It works great and really no complaints. But I'm wondering if there are alternatives to the nosepiece where the camera slides in. The barlow/camera combination is secured by one screw. I have a feeling that this **may** not keep the train in line, there may be a slight tilt. I'd love to replace the nosepiece with one that has a self centering attachment. Does anyone make this? How do any of you deal with this, or am I being too picky?

Thanks!!
Paul

The reason for the witch hunts are simple. If they didn't do this the group would lose their cushy jobs.
