Customized Binary Apotizer (Star Spike Remover), Set of 4
This is a binary apotizer (also known as an anti-slake device), which modifies the geometry of the vanes on a reflector telescope such that it no longer produces the quadruple spike pattern on bright stars. In effect, this makes your pictures taken via a reflector telescope appear as if they were taken with a refractor.
The binary apotizer has a slot in the back that slides onto the vanes that suspend your secondary mirror. The sizing of the binary apotizer depends on the geometry of your telescope. When you add this item to your cart, it will ask you for the relevant dimensions of your scope. Please ensure that these are accurate — refunds will not be provided for apotizers that were built to spec yet don’t fit because the provided dimensions were incorrect. If sized correctly, these should be a friction-fit on your spider vanes. However, you may wish to use double-sided tape if you want to be absolutely certain they won’t fall into your tube.
These binary apotizers are printed in carbon fiber PETG for its matte black finish and superior weather & temperature resistance. While we appreciate your business, if you’d like to print these with your own printer, we have released the design for free on printables :)
All nrStellar products come with a 2 year warranty. If you experience any issues, just shoot us an email and we’ll sort you out.
