ASI2600MM Air connection to M54 telescope.

privateer

Just got my ASI2600MM Air. I have an ASKAR500 with the M54 connection. How do I connect the Camera to this thread and maintain M54 width? I have removed the tilter plate and connected the EFW 7 2" directly to the camera. I do not need the OAG because it is the Duo version.

privateer You can use the 21mm M54 adapter that come withe camera to connect them

I removed the tilt corrector to get closer to the sensor. Then I attached your ZWO EFW7 2" (that left holes that were suppose to be covered by the OAG-L) which I don't need, light leak? Then which spacers do I add to get to 56mm @ M54?

I do not believe we have been given sufficient spacers to utilize M54 to a telescope in this setup because we will not be using the OAG-L because we have the duo.

Thanks
Ben.

privateer I do intend to upgrade my rig. I want to get the 2600mm Air with my 7x36 mm
EFW( then my CAA and the telescope) Is it posible to attach the EFW the same way than with the 2600 pro?

privateer As shown in the figure, here we need to use the M48-M48 16.5mm extension tube and the M54-M48-2 adapter ring, the latter of which comes in the packaging of the 2-inch filter wheel, and there is also no need to remove the camera target plane adjustment ring. When connecting the filter wheel and the camera, we need to first disassemble the front and rear covers of the filter wheel, and then connect them through the screw holes

Going from memory here, I think there's a diagram in the paperwork in the camera box that shows the spacing internal to the camera as well. When you add the m54 spacers that came with the camera you get exactly 55 mm of back focus. Of course, you adjust those according to any other accessories you add down the road
