Preparing the FCCT for Installation
4. Now loosen the safety screws
3
of the
FCCT QHY camera flange. You don't
have to remove them, it is enough if they
stand out by about 2 mm.
These screws are very important: They
fit into a very small groove in the inner
ring and make sure that the parts of the
FCCT can't fall apart at the telescope in
case of an operating error.
5. Now you have disassembled the FCCT
into its three parts:
4
– FCCT-RASA-flange
(with three pairs of holes)
5
– FCCT-base with tilter screws
6
– FCCT-QHY-flange (on its back
is a chamber for the filter slider)
Now you can attach the FCCT-QHY
camera-flange
6
to your QHY-camera
as shown on the following pages.
For the FCCT I, please continue reading

Please note: Differences between the FCCT I and FCCT II parts
The FCCT-RASA-flange of the
FCCT II is shorter, in order to
achieve the same optical length
as with the FCCT I.
The FCCT-QHY-flange of the
FCCT II is the same Ø 77mm flan-
ge as that of the FCCT I, but there
is an additional Ø 90mm adapter
on top.
