#19472 - NGC214 Corrector / Reducer for Classic C-14
Optec's NGC214 Next Generation Corrector is a 2-inch diameter optical focal reducer and coma corrector for classic Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes including the Celestron C-14, C-11, and C-8. This reducer/corrector also works very well with the classic Meade LX200 f/10 SCT telescopes.
Designed specifically for the classic Celestron and Meade SCT's, the NGC214 provides a magnification of 0.63X. With the classic SCT scopes, this focal reducer is fairly forgiving for placement behind the telescope. Typically, placing the reducer farther from the rear cell will require a de-focus of the main mirror which increases the native focal ratio. When used with a TCF 2-inch focuser on the back of the classic C-14 (native f-ratio is f/11), you can expect an effective focal ratio of f/7.3
Classic f/10 SCT scopes will typcally yield an effective focal ratio around f/6.8 with the TCF focuser in place.
Results may vary slightly depending upon the exact imaging train configuration.
This reducer / corrector requires a 2-inch focuser or receiver for proper mounting to the SCT. With an optimized back-focus distance of 75mm on-axis, the NGC214 is packaged with our Universal T-thread adapter to work with any camera package having 55mm of available back-focus. T-thread spacers can also be used to obtain the optical back-focus distance.
NGC 214 Telecompressor / field corrector for the classic C14 OTA. Includes 4 element corrector/reducer group mounted in 2-inch lens barrel. Camera side has STL 2.156"x24tpi male thread and includes a T-thread adapter for any 55mm back-focus camera. Custom camera-specific adapters are also available for other camera packages.
