TS-Optics T2 - Tilter - Tilting - Tilting mechanism for T2 connection

TS-Optics T2 tilter and tilting flange

Adjusting the image plane and sensor position

Many astrophotographers know the problem: you focus as well as possible and the sharpness is still not satisfactory in 1-2 corners. The result is a lazy compromise, either changing the sharpness setting until the stars appear relatively evenly "sharp", or simply cropping the corner.

Some possible causes of this problem:

♦ a slight misalignment of the camera sensor (only a few fractions of a millimeter is enough)

♦ a tilt of the focuser

♦ a slight tilt of the field plane of the telescope (very common with Newtonian telescopes)

♦ an inclination of the accessories on the side of the eyepiece when holding them

This is the solution:

With the TS T2-Tilter, you simply adapt the camera chip to the telescope field, no matter where the cause of the tilt comes from. Then you just have to maintain the orientation of the entire adapter, corrector and camera at all times.

Mounting is done with knurled screws, it is easy and avoids the loss of tools.
