Title: T thread space 11mm (or even 10mm)
Post by: Carole on Apr 25, 2018, 10:33:34
Does any-one have one this size I could borrow temporarily.  I want to see if I can get focus with my Atik cameras and a Canon camera lens before buying one.

I was trying to use my Atik with a camera lens at DSC for widefield stuff, but just could not get it to focus with a 12mm spacer.  So annoying it was "just" out of focus. 

I have been in touch with TS who I bought the Geoptik adapter from and they are saying 11mm for the 460 and 11.5mm for the 314. 

Just fed up with all these different sized spacers, so would prefer to try before buying yet another, to make sure it will do the job.  Even if you have one of 10mm I could make up the space temporarily.

If you have one can you bring to the meeting tonight if you are coming.

Thanks
Carole
