I purchased this for HA imaging. Using my ASI 178MM my images have a faint crescent to their outside on one side. When I rotate the camera the faint crescent moves as well. I saw your response earlier to another user on how to use the tilter, that wasn’t very clear to me on how to adjust the tilter. I read your response to Mark WIlliam Johnson above, and that wasn’t helpful. Is there a video on how to adjust the tilter or a better instruction manual? I’m new at this and am looking for assistance.

Hi.
I have an OAG-L with me. I want to connect it to ASI 533MC pro.
Pl guide me to connect OAG L to 533MC pro.
Will it be sufficient to buy New T2 tilter or should i buy any thing else also.
I don’t plan to use EFW.
so pl tell me the connecting method for OAG-L to 533MC pro without EFW.
and also tell me whether ASI 462MC is good enough to be used as Guidecam with OAG-L…?

sara.liu – :
The ASI 533 can not work with OAG-L, 533 can work with OAG.
The ASI462MC can not work with OAG-L as guidecam, ASImini cameras can work with OAG-L as guidecam.

I just purchased the T2 Tilter for Ha imaging. I see how to connect it but there are no instructions on how to use it.
Which hex nuts do you move? How much? Is this done once and you’re good forever or do you readjust every time? You need to publish some instructions on how to use this. How do I proceed?

Support@ZWO – :
1.Mainly used to reduce newton ring when imaging ha-solar；
2.Also used to adjust the camera imaging plane by rotating the six nuts in the main body when the sensor plane is uneven.
3.There is no instruction because you need to adjust until it is even based on actual state.

What type of Allen screws are they for both pairs of screws per set? For example M6, M5 or 1/4-20 etc.. I am curious because I am using this with a Quark Daystar Chromosphere and ZWo174mm and I have Newton Rings. And I am curious about how far the camera can tilt with this? I did not see any pictures of it tilting or information of the screw sizes/pitch/thread etc…
So with that said, I just want to know if I were to add longer screws, would I have more tilt room or should the supplied screws be adequate enough to eliminate the Newton Rings I have with the 174mm?
Thanks in Advanced 🙂

Will this bolt to the telescope side of the new model 7x36mm EFW instead of bolting it directly to the camera?

Will this bolt to the telescope side of the new 7x36mm EFW? I am using this wheel bolted to ASI2600MM, the tilt plate removed from camera will not bolt to the other side of the EFW. I am not using OAG.
Thanks

I want to screw the tilt adapter to the ZWO 7×2 efw, which screws do I use? The ones provided with the efw don’t seem to work. Do you have a clearer manual for this other than the back focus diagram?

I suspect my ASI294 to have a tilt problem… tested with many telescopes, in the range of f/6, I always have elongated stars in one corner of the frame or on the same side of the frame. Shots taken with a f/7.5 telescope are perfect all over the frame… Do you have design a manual with more information on the use of this T2 tilter? Many thanks for reading. AC

How does this connect an ASI1600MM-Pro with a ZWO 2″ EFW? Are screws connecting it to the camera or the EFW or both?

ZWO.Moson – :
You can connect it to ASI1600MM Pro by screws. And connect to 2″ EFW by M54-M42 adapter which come with 2″ EFW.

Rick – :
Can this be used on an f/4 Newtonian with EFW. Would I get a vignette with camera being further back, or would I put the tilter in place of one of the spacers??
0

Katherine Tsai – :
Normally it can be attached to the camera, you can check your telescope image circle to confirm whether it will have a vignette.

Does it have a seal in the middle so that dust will not enter when the tilt is set?
