Denk II Premium SCT Power x Switch Package
See the Standard and Denk II Power x Switch Package Manual for more details and pictures.
This
Package includes a Premium Denk II Binoviewer and 2 SCD Holders, a Dual
Arm SCT Power x Switch, a special 2 3X Multiplier Cell, 1.25 and 2
nosepieces, engraved aluminum etepiece holder plugs and aluminum caps
for the optical accessories, and comes shipped in a lockable Denkmeier
Aluminum Case.
What The Package Does When Used With SCTs
The
binoviewer and Power x Switch allows focal reduction, normal and 2X
magnifications instantly in most F/10 SCTs. The Power x Switch that is
attached to the binoviewer will accept either the 2 or 1.25 nosepiece
included and allows an F/10 SCT to operate with .66X focal reduction,
1.15X magnification or 2X magnification. An additional 2 format 3X
Multiplier Cell is included. The Power x Switch Arms are moved to the
OUT position and this cell is threaded to the 2 nosepiece. If a 2" star
diagonal is not already owned, be sure to consider adding a top quality
2 Denkmeier Star Diagonal for your SCT if this package is selected.
Maksutovs
When
using telescopes like Questars®, Meade ETX90 and 125s®, Meade
Maksutovs, Orion® Maks, Intes Micros® and some others, use the 1.25"
nosepiece or the 2" nosepiece in either a 1.25 or 2 star diagonal.
Focal reduction is possible using the Power x Switch in these
telescopes and due to the long focal length and small relative aperture
inherent to many of these smaller Maksutov telescopes, the focal
reduction mode of the Power x Switch is very desirable. Our Patent
Pending Power x Switch contains the Star*Sweeper" and taking advantage
of this feature will no doubt prove attractive to you. With the Low
Power (Logo-Side) Power x Switch Arm in the OUT position, normal
magnifications will result. Moving the Logo-Side Power x Switch Arm to
IN produces focal reduction. Moving in the opposite Power x Switch Arm
produces 2X magnification.
Coronado Filter Use
An
additional 1.25 accessory for the Coronado BF Filter Diagonals is
needed if this system is to be brought to focus in Solarmax
Telescopes®, or Refractors equipped with Solarmax Filters. This
optional cell threads into the filter threads on the
telescope-end of the 1.25 Coronado Blocking Filter star diagonal. This
cell must remain in place for the binoviewer and Power x Switch to
function. When using this Package in a Solarmax90 Telescope®, the 1.25
Refractor OCS Cell is unnecessary because this telescope has a special
shortened tube that is designed to allow the Denkmeier Binoviewer to
reach focus (see S&T Magazine Maxscope 90 Hot Product description
in Jan 2004 issue).
