Overview 2 "coma corrector with 0.95x reduction factor Compatible with Newtonians from f/4.0 to f/6.0 Completely corrected up to APS-H format Description The coma corrector is a very important accessory for all Newtonian telescopes with a focal ratio from f/6.0 to f/4.0; it allows to correct the field also with cameras equipped with large sensors, up to APS-H format It fits into the 50.8mm connection of your focuser like a normal 2" eyepiece and has an M48 x0.75 thread on the camera side for connecting Reflex, CCD or CMOS cameras. On the internal side (telescope side) there is a thread to connect 2 "filters (50.8mm), such as a narrow band filter or a filter for light pollution. It will thus be possible to reduce the focal length of your Newtons, for example a Newton with native focal f/4.0 will be reduced to a resulting focal equal to f/3.8. Compatibility This coma corrector has been specifically tested with the Newtons of the following brands to test its compatibility, for any information about it, please contact us: Artesky Newton Artec 200 Lite Yes Skywatcher Newton PDS series Yes Newton QUATTRO-S series Yes GSO Newton F / 5.0 and F / 4.0 Yes TS Optics Newton F / 5.0 and F / 4.0 Yes Celestron Newton F / 5.0 Yes What is coma? Coma is an optical aberration that derives its name from the classic comet-like appearance of the images created by the optical systems that assume this defect. Coma occurs when the imaged object is moved laterally with respect to the system axis by a certain angle. The rays passing in the periphery to the optical axis are focused in a different point of the axis, further away if the coma is positive or closer if the coma is negative. A bundle of rays passing through the lens at a certain distance from the center are focused in a ring shape on the focal plane, the superposition of these different rings gives rise to a V-shape similar to the tail of a comet. As with spherical aberration, coma can also be reduced or eliminated by using appropriate coma correctors for the optical system concerned.
