About this product
Model: starizona_sct_corr_4
Part Number: SCTCORR-4
Starizona 0.63x SCT Reducer/Coma Corrector
This 0.63x Reducer/Coma Corrector is designed to work with all Celestron standard SCT Telescopes from the C6 through to the C14.
Camera Adapters
The SCT Corrector IV has a nominal image circle of 27mm, accommodating most popular CCDs and DSLRs.
Because the back focus of the SCT Corrector IV is fairly critical, for best performance Starizona makes a variety of camera adapters, and custom adapters are also available for less-common camera setups.
The nominal back focus is 90.3mm from the base of the threads on the camera side of the SCT Corrector IV. For the largest compatible cameras, this should be kept within +/-2mm, while smaller format cameras may work fine at slightly larger tolerances.
Telescope Adaptors
The SCT Corrector IV, like the original SCT Corrector, has a 2" barrel that allows it to fit into a 2" visual back or 2" focuser. If your telescope does not have such an adapter FLO can supply a suitable SCT to 2" Adaptor.
Telescope Focal Length Focal Ratio
C6 1220mm F8
C8 1450mm F7.1
C9.25 1525mm F6.5
C11 1760mm F6.3
C14 2365mm F6.7
Please note: The SCT Corrector has a reduction factor of 0.63x, but the C6 and C8 are actually closer to f/11 natively, and they have a shorter back focus compared to the larger scopes so the reduction is a bit less. The C14 is f/11 natively.
Filters
The front (telescope side) of the SCT Corrector IV is threaded to accept standard 2" (48mm) filters.
