DayStar Tilt Reducer 0.6x Quark to T Thread (IEQT60)

DayStar Tilt Reducer 0.6x Quark to T Thread

Description

The DayStar Tilt Reducer 0.6x Quark to T thread is designed for use with DayStar Combo Quark Hydrogen Alpha filters, both Chromosphere and Prominence versions. It combines focal reduction and interference correction in a single accessory.

The optical system reduces focal length by a factor of 0.6x, increasing the field of view and allowing small sensor cameras to capture more of the Sun. It also improves brightness, enabling exposure times approximately three times shorter than without the reducer, helping to reduce atmospheric seeing effects and improve image sharpness.

The reducer is designed for cameras with 17.5 mm backfocus, or 12.5 mm when used with a 5 mm spacer, allowing integration into standard imaging setups.

It also includes a tilt mechanism to reduce interference fringes or Newton rings, commonly seen in monochrome Hydrogen Alpha imaging. By slightly tilting the sensor, internal reflections are minimized without affecting framing.
