After having previously fitted the UFC system to the Rasa11, I decided to add the tilt adjuster to the image train. The camera (ASI2600MC) does have tilt adjustment on it, but these are obscured by the UFC system and would necessitate removing the camera to adjust. The UFC Tilt Plate has adjustment screws at the side so no need to take apart anything to adjust.
Having fitted the plate, I got lucky and seen an improvement from 23% (severe tilt) to 8% (almost none) according to ASTAP software calculations and ratings.
Not making any additional changes at the moment until I can do some more changes to the optics to try and improve the donut shape that appears in the train.
In Part 2 - Will (hopefully!) take a look at adjusting the back focus using the Aberration Inspector in Hocus Focus plug-in, and also the tilt with both Hocus Focus and ASTAP.
Stay tuned for that, no idea when it will be however.........!
