Lens


We have a Mamiya medium format 80mm f/1.9 lens, with a 42mm aperture.  Here is a commercial page with many of the camera specs.  With this telescope and lens combiation, we will observe a field 26 degrees by 26 degrees.

 

 

The lens has been purchased and is at Vanderbilt.  We are currently attempting to build an adapter that will simultaneously attach the lens to the camera and both to the telescope mounting plate on the mount, called the Versa-plate.  In the last week of november we intend to test the components to determine the appropriate width of the adapter, which should allow a flange focal distance of 63 mm.
