Sharpstar 2" 1× Full-Frame Coma Corrector is a four-element corrector designed for Newtonian reflectors with a parabolic primary mirror. It is optimized to effectively reduce coma in fast optical systems, helping stars remain sharp and round toward the edges of the frame. With a 1× factor, it does not change the telescope focal length, while the standard 55 mm backfocus makes it easy to build an imaging train for DSLR and dedicated astronomy cameras. A 44 mm image circle allows the corrector to be used with full-frame sensors as well.
Key features
• coma corrector for Newtonian telescopes with a parabolic primary mirror • 1× factor – no focal length or image scale change • 44 mm image circle, suitable for full-frame sensors • air-spaced quadruplet design with an ED glass element • recommended telescope focal ratio range: f/3 to f/6 • standard 55 mm backfocus for convenient DSLR/astro camera setups • 2" (50.8 mm) barrel for easy installation in a focuser • full-surface multi-layer coatings on optical elements
