Telescopes

ASA/Keller 400
-> DeepSky, Sun Bright Field, Moon, Planets
P Keller-ASA 400 (3600mm/ 1200mm) f9/f3 ............................ LOMO Mirror Sital Glass (f9 Secondary Flattener/ f3 Primary Corrector)

Orion ED80 (partial conversion)
-> Auto-Guiding DeepSky
Orion ED 80 (600mm) f7,5 ..............................................................(shortened tube), Flip Mirror, Guider Okular, SBIG Guide Head adapter and laser quick finder
Skywatcher Evostar ED150 (total conversion)
-> Sun H-alpha
Due to the good correction of the ED Glass element, around the H-alpha red wavelength 656nm, it is used in my observatory as a H-alpha telescope. It was rebuilt for this purpose.

Original delivered Skywatcher Evostar ED150 before the extensive conversion ................. Many thanks Mr Paur for the help/ TS Ransburg, Germany

Typical Ronchigramm ED150 extrafocal (reference: Jeff https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/874851-dpac-test-sw150ed/) .................................... Higly corrected in red!
All In One Solution
-> Telescopes ASA 400 and ED150 on One enforced Base
Balancing Telescope
-> DeepSky Setup versus Projection SetUps

1.) When the SetUp is used for DeepSky fotographie, the SBIG Camera/ Rotator/ f9 Korrektor is mounted to the ASA focuser at the backsite of ASA400.
The backsite counterweights are taken off to balance this heavy change.
2.) When the SetUp is used for Projection fotographie (Moon, Planets, Sun bright field), the ASICamera/ FFC/ Rotator is mounted to the ASA focuser at the backsite of ASA400.
3.) For the Telezentric fotographie (Sun H-alpha) the ASICamera/ Telezentric/ H-alpha Filter SetUp is mounted to the Feathertouch focuser of the ED150 refractor.
In case of 2.) and 3.) The backsite counterweights are mounted to the rod and moved to balance the various projection SetUp weights
The Counterweigt at the Alt-AD7 Mount in the uppermost position is minimally slided to finetune the two SetUp's Deepsky versus Projection.
