DayStar Imaging Focal Reducer 0.5x
Description
The DayStar Imaging Focal Reducer 0.5x is designed for astrophotography applications to significantly increase field of view. It is built for 2 inch drawtubes and features a 36 mm clear aperture.
The standard M42x0.75 T thread allows direct connection of camera specific T rings for DSLR or imaging systems. With a camera directly mounted, the focal length is reduced by a factor of 0.5x. Adding the included 20 mm T extension tube allows a reduction factor of 0.33x.
When combined with the DayStar T-thread Interference Eliminator, a reduction factor of 0.38x can be achieved without interference. The usable field of view depends on the etalon clear aperture, with Quantum filters providing a larger usable field than Quark or Ion systems.
This reducer allows full disk solar imaging with 2/3 inch monochrome CCD sensors such as ICX625, ICX655, IMX250 and IMX264.
The optical design includes four elements in two groups and knife edge internal baffles to improve contrast.
