![]() I used a small round needle file to do this although it took some time! (I found the new hole was too close to the existing hole for me to use a drill - you may have better luck) The centre hole needs to be re-drilled to 8mm diameter to take the tensioner screw. The 4 screw holes need to be "shifted" 0.5mm outwards along the length of the bracket, and 2.5mm inwards across the bracket. To fit the autofocuser you will need to use the larger of the two fixing brackets that come with the focuser. I have also managed to fit the Skywatcher Autofocuser. ![]() I have also fitted the equivalent of Bob's Knobs to make adjustment easier. Awaiting clear skies to put the scope to the test. Collimation was slightly out, requiring only minimal adjustment of the secondary and primary mirrors. So I paid £10 more for the StellaLyra name on the OTA, slightly annoying! Having said that the telescope is of excellent quality, the focuser is silky smooth, and the overall finish is very good. ![]() When the telescope arrived I found it had the same colour scheme and finish as the TS-Photon, in fact it appears to be exactly the same telescope (I stand to be corrected). I ordered the StellaLyra version of this telescope (albeit £10 more expensive) because I preferred the more conventional black tube rings and trim colour rather than the red TS-Photon version. Note: For astrophotography, a coma corrector is required for optimum results. It is supplied with metal tube-rings and a Vixen-style dovetail mounting plate. The sturdy dual-speed 2" Linear Bearing (aka Monorail) Crayford focuser has enough tension for most small/medium size imaging payloads and provides precise, smooth focus adjustments.Ī nicely made 8x50 straight finderscope with fully multicoated optics is included and can be adapted (adapter available separately) for use as a convenient guide scope.Ī 2"-1.25" adapter and 35mm focus extender are included for visual astronomy. ![]() This compact 6" StellaLyra reflector with a fast f/4 focal ratio is an excellent choice for deep-sky imaging with a dedicated astronomy CMOS/CCD camera or DSLR.Īll StellaLyra imaging Newtonian telescopes feature GSO aluminised parabolic primary mirrors with minimum 93% reflectivity and a silicon-dioxide protective overcoat to ensure the surface remains bright for years. Model: stellalyra_6_f4_newt 6" f/4 StellaLyra Imaging Newtonian Reflector Telescope Designed and manufactured to a very high standard by Guan Sheng Optical (GSO) in Taiwan. ![]()
