Secondary mirror on a 10" f/5
Hi all,
I have a 10" f/5 "Sky Mentor" (Canada) aka Orion XT10.
The secondary is 65mm (2.6") and I am wondering if I can go smaller.
I have seen 10" (Mag 1 Portaball) with a 1.83" mirror.
I know there are other ascepts of tube design that I have to consider
but is it generally possible and what I have to do in order to use a
smaller secondary, (ie change the distance between primary and
secondary ???
Any help will be appreciated.
