wkrispler Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi, I wanted to test my new ASA setup during daylight. As described in the OK3 manual I attached the extension tube to the focuser and then the Wynne Corrector and my DSLR (see attached image). I tried values between 0 and 30 in the ACC software (move absolute) but never reached the focus. What is going wrong? Any idea? Thx, Wolfgang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamaSpaceShip Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Hi Wolfgang, As far I can see, it seems that your DSLR sensor is too far away to be in focus. You need to calculate where is the focus plane (using a medium position of the OK3), take into account the back focus of your DSLR and use an extension tube of the appropriate length. You cannot expect to be lucky, and get in focus without this calculation. Best regards. Bernard Edited May 7, 2017 by RamaSpaceShip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkrispler Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi Bernhard, thank you. I got a tipp from a colleague and removed the rippled extension tube and now it works. Cheers, Wolfgang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
