Konus-Synta achromat refiguring. Help!!
Hi everybody!
I have a Konus 5" f8.3 with not a sharp optics, in focus stars has many bright rings...with green filter as well. So I decided to experiment with the shims. The difficulty is not only the under correction but with a "s" zone ~70% Well the original shim is ~0.4mm. Changed it to 0.1mm I not achieved anything.... Then I asked a friend to help measure the radii on the 4 surfaces. Put the numbers in OSLO and I got overcorrection using BK7-F2 glasses. Am I missing something or the glass has a irregularity that creating the under correction? If I can get the correct glass info I may decide to refigure one of the surface... Pheraps R4 edge? Please dont tell me it is impossible, I hapy to lose the coating just to make the lens sharp at least in green! R1=611.873mm R2=353.286mm R3=355.631mm R4=1488.956mm Any help, suggestion appreciated! Thanks, Miki. |
