PST mod with SW Evostar

Post by s52sk »

Hi guys.
I am new at forum. I have buyed PST denkmeier PST and try to made some PST mods. I have SW Evostar ED80 Pro 80/600. From AOK Swiss I have ordered ERF 60mm front filter and PST etalon adapter. At last i put everything together but i did not reach the fokus. The tube from Evostar was just to long.
What to do? I go to shack and try to calculate everything at the computer, and find out that tube is about 7 cm to long. My decision did not take to long. I have to cut off the tube. At my tube work my wife came to me and ask me... Marco, what the hell are you doing this telescope you buyed two days ago ....hehe. But nothing can stop me. So I cut off the tube put everything together, move the telescope to sun and woila. I scream at the picture. My wife did not say anything, I just noticed some strange look in her eyes.
I am happy with my work.

CS Marco
